Basing it on occur-edit-mode would be a lot more work I think, but I
understand your concern wrt it being already established and bug-free,
etc. This was my original plan but I bailed since the occur buffer's
text-properties has marker objects (IIRC) but I want to avoid using
markers since having many buffers open was a personal pet peeve of mine,
along with the slow-typing experience due to occur's
after-change-function immediately reflecting the changes in the original
buffer. The latter is avoided in my patch since we commit the changes
only at the end so the typing during the edit is smooth.
I think having similar features that work very differently is not a
good thing for Emacs. So I urge you to reconsider your decisions and
make this more like occur-edit-mode. In particular, I don't
understand the difficulty with using the markers and what does it have
to do with the ability of having many Grep buffers.
