Subject: lgrep fails with certain entries in grep-files-aliases
Date: Sat, 04 Feb 2012 13:40:21 -0700

The documentation of grep-files-aliases says:
*Alist for the FILES argument to `lgrep' and `rgrep'.

Certain aliases in that list do not work with lgrep.

For example, `cc' works fine with rgrep, but fails with lgrep with the 
following recipe:

emacs -Q
M-x lgrep
Search for: main
in files: cc
In directory: ~/devel/emacs/trunk/src/

Result:

-*- mode: grep; default-directory: "~/devel/emacs/trunk/src/" -*-
