    All else being equal, I agree.  People have tried making interfaces
    for grep that separate the arguments.  I think one such is actually
    installed as an alternative.  But they are simply less convenient
    than M-x grep.

You replied:

    Should something be added to TODO or would anyone like to volunteer to
    try it?

I am confused.  Try what?
Did you mean this idea?

    It might make sense for C-x ` to work with Occur.
