+1.  Emacs offers similar functionality for dired (wdired), which is
very popular.

This writable buffer package could also work on *xref* buffers.  I think
that the new package should be designed in a way where it delegates part
of its work to some "adapters" that convert between the buffer's
contents and the *grep* buffer's contents (which are stable over time).
