Dear ast-devel,

the grep -C from the latest ast-ksh (2013-04-09) does not work
compared to GNU grep 2.14

In GNU grep 2.14 I get this for the context option:

seq 200 >"测试文件"
ksh -c '/usr/bin/grep --context=2 51 <"测试文件"'
49
50
51
52
53
--
149
150
151
152
153

But I get this from grep from ast-ksh for the context option:

ksh -c 'builtin grep ; grep --context=2 51 <"测试文件"'
51
151

Is this a bug or feature?

AFAIK the -C option in ast-ksh grep should work like this:
-C 2 gives 2 lines of context before and after the match
-C ,2 gives only 2 lines of context after the match
-C 2, gives only 2 lines of contetxt before the match

optionally AST grep should support these two long options for GNU grep
compatibility:

  --before-context=NUM  print NUM lines of leading context
  --after-context=NUM   print NUM lines of trailing context

What do you think?

Wendy
