Done, with more comments.

As for the function names in the output of grep, let's hope that
the developers of GNU grep will apply the patch implemented in

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-grep/2005-01/msg00027.html

that adds the command line option `-p' and `--show-function-line'
with formatting similar to the output of git-grep
that is now supported in Emacs.
