    nothing earth-shaking changed. it avoids regex for simple patterns which
    places it roughly in the same speed bracket as gnu grep. (depends on how
    many megabytes you're grepping if you'll notice a difference). plus an
    assortment of flags and corner cases which pop up when you make it system
    default and lots of people start using it.
