I certainly don't expect this facility to be identical to wgrep (I 
didn't bother mentioning the bits of wgrep that I'm not interested in), 
but I think it does have some very good ideas too.

For the case of only making changes at the end, I mainly wanted to 
express my agreement with Visuwesh's initial implementation and to 
explain how wgrep's similar behavior makes certain tasks easier.
