Too late. GNU grep already has --recursive. I think adding
--recursive to grep was a mistake. It then requires most of 'find' to
be added to it too. (--include*, --exclude*)

All silently. For most cases I think your example would have been a a
case of programming error. It would be better to make those cases noisy.
The above seems to be a bug since it violates the documented action of
'read' for directories. It appears to be skipping by default. Even
when --directories=read is specified.

And the problems just go on and on.
