Hmm. Somehow I dislike name-changes of params. :-(

GREP guys decided to use -r (which was absent in grep 2.0).
-a changed its behavior to opposite also.

WOOHOO!

I agree with Alex Langer, though. -R - -r gets on my nerves. But I suppose
it is consistent with `rm`, just not `cp`.. hmm, consistency.

In fact, it is consistent with GNU grep ;=)
Old -a and -R were FreeBSD extensions that have gone now.

Is this also equivalent to the old grep's -a option? I mean OLD grep, from
like 6 months ago?

grep -a normally ignored binary files completely, back then.
