So now grep prints advertisements if I have it print to a tty, but not if I have it print to a pipe that goes to a pager? Which I almost certainly would be doing if advertisements are pushing my output over 20 or so lines? That is your idea of usability? Brilliant, just brilliant. I suppose I shouldn't even bother to ask what happens if I have tty output being consumed by another program.

You have got to be kidding me. This is a joke.

The exact same functionality of which? And I rather doubt that is true.
>You add a feature here, you add the same feature there.
No. No you do not. Not when there is standardized. And in this case the "here"/"there" relationship has not even been established for "ubuntu-dash"/grep, making this extra idiotic.

Uh, yeah?
Yes, amazon-enabled dash and grep/find/whatever have different functionality. But that's a recent change. Previously, dash had exactly the same functionality. That's the entire point. You add a feature here, you add the same feature there.
