I thought about it and actually edited git-grep man page to clarify
the default, only to find out this.  When --untracked is used,
--exclude-standard is the default. When --no-index is used,
--no-exclude-standard is the default. Can't have it both ways. This is
already mentioned with the subtle phrase "only useful with...".

Regardless, yes it would be nice to have something like this. I think
there are places that can make use of this.
