I especially like your 'mgrep', please do write it!

I have considered similar tools that make use of MarkDown syntax, I feel that there are many tools waiting to be written here.

I think mdq [1], which was recently on HN somewhere, fits this.

Mdq seems just what I've been looking for. I have yet to test it.

Based on documentation, you can mdq for the chapter whose heading is "## Foobar"; or extract all lists in chapter "### Xyzzy".

Thanks, abound!
