Is `urgrep' a full featured replacement for `rgrep'? Is there anything missing, and/or something that will be hard to add?
It does (or should do) everything `rgrep' does. However, I wouldn't really call it a replacement, since it just uses `rgrep' under the hood[1]. It's also only designed to work like `rgrep', so it doesn't handle similar commands like `lgrep' (though maybe it could).
I note that the repository includes an implementation of wgrep. It would be great to include such functionality in Emacs by default at some point.
I agree, that would be great. However, note that urgrep-wgrep.el just provides the necessary glue for wgrep to understand Urgrep buffers. You still need to install wgrep for it to do anything.
[1] Technically, it uses `rgrep-default-command'.
