I didn't realize you were not yet satisfied with the design of this feature,
Eli.

Lars, I have reverted both commits related to this feature, until we arrive at
a design that has a bit more consensus.

For the record, I never have more than one grep buffer open, but not because I
haven't wanted that in the past! I just never think to save the old one before
running grep again.
