Thank you both for those fine changes.
I know there are older pending patches from Norihiro Tanaka, and
normally I would have prioritized applying them before the next
release, but now that we know about the false-match fix (echo abc|grep
-E '^b|b$') affecting 2.19..2.21, I would prefer to release the fixed
grep-2.22 ASAP, and integrate those additional changes afterwards.

I would like to make a prerelease snapshot late today or tomorrow, so
if you know of any quick/trivial improvements or anything
bug-fix-related, please let me know soon.
