I think the usage of `grep` is a bit mistaken. `\w` is a literal
replacement for `[_[:alnum:]]`, and `\W` is for inverting that, so if
you enclose it again in some brackets, it doesn't work anymore. You
probably want something more like this:

❯ grep -Re '\Wlog\W' /tmp/test2
if ($this->_touchOnly) //log if touchOnly
only log the output of the controller if $silent
if (window.console) console.log(data);

** Changed in: grep (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Invalid
