I'd note that our zgrep(1) does not support bz2 files nor have we
something called bzgrep(1). It is a mess that you can't do a grep
over uncompressed files, gzip'd files and bzip2'd files at once.
Do we have as handy a command as the following one that used to work
before the switchover?
$ zgrep foo messages*
If not, I want bzgrep in the base..
(bzcat messages* | grep foo is not an option because file names will
be missing from the output)
