The primary thing test_i18ngrep did was to _SKIP_ certain test that
looked for an expected string in "C" locale from the output when the
tests were run under a tainted localization mode. The tests that
looked for strings in messages that are *not* to be localized used
"grep". Tests that (unfortunately) had to match human-readable
messages had to work around the tainted localization test to use
test_i18ngrep.

We could rename test_i18ngrep to test_grep (and make test_i18ngrep
into a thin wrapper with warnings).
test_grep -e must-exist file &&
test_grep ! -e must-not-exist file
