4. Add option -r to AST grep, in the binary, please and not a script wrapper. I know this is against the "spirit of UNIX" and users should use find/grep or tw/grep instead but grep -r has been very very very popular with end users and every other modern (not calling Solaris modern, but they soon use AST grep and Heirloom grep mat get it quickly) grep implementation, including GNU grep, Mac grep and BSD grep have it.
