Improved how?  Can you suggest how to distinguish between ":39:" and
":13:" in the Grep output, when searching where the file name ends and
the line number and the following test starts?
M-x grep and friends should already be doing the right thing: when
supported, it passes "--null" to "grep", which changes the output so
that it separates the file name from the line number using a NUL
character. The regexps in grep.el can then detect that output and parse
it correctly.
I know, but since Jean reported this, his Grep evidently doesn't do
that.  So I asked how to do better in that case.

Perhaps he had customized grep-template, so that the --null flag is not there.
