Tony, the difference personally I see between searching via
:vim /\%1l/j **/*.xml
and, say, searching via
:cexpr glob("**/*.xml")
is that first solution says to vim - test every *.xml whether it have
first line
and second one just finds all *.xml files without perfoming any
additional tests.
Therefore, second expression is faster. Way faster if file name
pattern matches many files.
