Subject: 24.0.50; `find-grep-options' - fn name doesn't fit doc string
Date: Sun, 29 May 2011 15:26:01 -0700

Maybe the function should be called `find-grep-silence-options' or
`find-grep-quiet-options'.  If the value is supposed to represent the
switches that make `grep' as silent as possible, then this is about
silence or quiet - it is not about options in general.  Also, in Emacs
we don't usually call these "options" - we call them "switches":
`find-grep-quiet-switches'.

Besides, the Emacs option just above this one is called
`find-ls-subdir-switches' - switches, not options.
