Oh, and I didn't even think about implementing streaming grep. The
context-finding code relies on being able to backtrack through the file
in memory. We _could_ implement streaming only for binary files (i.e.,
when we will just print "Binary file foo matches"). However, I suspect
people with big binary files will want to be using "-I" anyway, so as to
avoid even pulling the data from disk at all.
We might eventually want to add a config-option version of "-I" for
people who have repositories of mixed source code and large binary
assets.
