    improvements (mostly in speed aspect) like The Silver Searcher ("ag")
    (implemented in C) or "ripgrep" (implemented in Rust). "git" also now
    includes a "git-grep" utility (implemented in C). ack has a website:
    <https://beyondgrep.com>. See also <https://betterthanack.com>.

    gre (from App::Gre) is a "grep clone using Perl regexp's with better
    file filtering, defaults, speed, and presentation". It seems to focus on
    providing many options to filter files (from including/excluding by file
    extension, by matching against filename, by first line, by maximum
    directory depth, and so on). It also offers some alternative output
    styles.

    2b. Improvements in searching for multiple patterns in no particular
    order

    Normally with the regular grep, to search for all 'foo' and 'bar' *in no
    particular order*, you either have to do something like:

     % grep --color=always foo FILES | grep bar

    or:

by default. ack has spurred the development of its improvements (mostly in speed
aspect) like The Silver Searcher (`ag`) (implemented in C) or `ripgrep`
