It is not immediately clear to me how to hook that into font-lock or
specifically grep.el.  But it would seem to also delete the Escape sequences,
which was my criticism of Juri's code.

Is there no way of making text invisible, such that it doesn't get in the way
when searching of copy/pasting it?
