interesting. when i say "BSD grep" i either mean NetBSD (if i'm talking about Android), or whatever it is that Apple ships (if i'm talking about macOS). i've never actually _used_ NetBSD, so i don't know if they use their grep or default to the GNU one. macOS, though, definitely doesn't use the GNU one. i don't think they use the NetBSD one either. theirs is the worst grep i've used since the early 1990s at least. (just the -r behavior is enough to make me never want to use it, and they "fixed" that by printing out a message telling you they're doing the wrong thing but continuing to do it anyway. i of all people have a lot of sympathy for having to maintain backwards compatibility, but "grep -r doesn't work" seems like behavior i'd want to make folks opt in to in 2019.) > Replacing it with BSD grep is in progress, and it's still under > somewhat active development.
