The problem is this eliminates the original grep buffer (with matches, current state, etc.), so I have to redo that grep (and start from the first match again if I use next-error) to continue investigating other matches. I'd like a nested grep feature for starting an other grep with the ability to return easily to the previous grep results after I'm finished with the current one. Is there an existing package which does something like that?
