Yep, that's the obvious thing to do, though not as its default mode of
operation.

I don't know yet whether it will be better (on some fuzzy scale
involving performance, features, robustness, and maintainability) to
feed real files to grep via xargs, or just implement a grep engine
myself, but the exercise shouldn't take more than a few hours.
