See: http://www.unix.com/man-page/debian/1/bzegrep/ For most people like yourself, this is probably reasonable. However, given that many GNU/Linux systems that are Debian or Debian-derived actually have a shim like this I'm not sure it's a good idea to produce a bzgrep that isn't similarly compatible with the system grep(1). - Kyle Evans
