According to grep man page, the environment variable GREP_COLOR
specifies the marker for highlighting, GREP_OPTIONS specifies default
options to be placed in front of any explicit options, and the option
--color surrounds the matching string with the marker found in GREP_COLOR
environment variable.
Ok, please add comments in the Lisp code with that information.
Don't expect people maintaining Emacs to know such obscure
things about GNU grep!

Even though this feature will not be available for non-GNU greps,
I can't tell if the GREP_OPTIONS=--colors will cause them to fail.
It could be they will simply not notice. Could you arrange to test
this on a few recent modern?
