Yes, thanks Drew.  Indeed I was wondering whether shorthands would break
el-search, but it was trivial to add support for them because el-search
is (solely) based on `read'ing.  Therefore it's slower than grepping of
course, but it's still acceptable (~ 10 seconds for the entire Emacs
Lisp code base)

Latest and best location is on my HDD, sadly, I did not update for quite
a while (actually since the change of the infrastructure of the Gnu Elpa
repo).  If anyone is interested I can post a newer version.
