I have to apologize, I meant to say "the best non-void change could be".
But I don't like the idea of tricking users which have GREP_OPTIONS="-r".

As I don't see any good solution, I tend to leave it as is.
(As Karl wrote in a mail to me:

If you really need the functionality, write an alias or a shell function
wrapping grep.
