number in `fossil grep` output.
* There is no way to suppress all output, returning only a status code
to indicate whether the pattern matched, as with `grep -q`.
* There is no way to suppress error output, as with `grep -s`.
* Fossil `grep` accepts only a single input file name. You cannot give
it a list of file names, and you cannot give it a directory name for
Fossil to expand to the set of all files under that directory. This
means Fossil `grep` has no equivalent of the common POSIX `grep -R`
extension. (And if it did, it would probably have a different option
letter, since `-R` in Fossil has a different meaning, by
convention.)
* You cannot invert the match, as with `grep -v`.
Patches to remove those limitations will be thoughtfully considered.
