Having multiple grep buffers would also be a nice feature, but I think
just making the `r'/`l' commands work the way they do in, say, *Help*
and eww buffers would be sufficient for most needs.  We'd just need a
history variable that containts, uhm, the command and the directory we
were in when we executed that command...

I think I'll just implement that now.
