Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: grep

I get:

$ echo -e "aBc\naBC" | grep "aB[a-z]"
aBc
aBC

where the first line of output is colored red, but the second line
isn't. This seems wrong. Either aBC is matched, in which case it should
be colored, or it isn't matched, in which case it shouldn't be printed
at all.
