Hi people,

Just thinking it would be nice if grep could be asked to send unmatched output
to stderr (while matched input continues to go to stdout).  I know it's easy
enough to get the same behaviour with awk, but this is still aligned with
grep's general purpose, and grep is optimised for such behaviour.

Cheers,

Tony
