They each spit a diagnostic saying that they are going away.  Not so 
great for scripts.

There are 24 lines using or mentioning these in our tree.

	git grep '\<[ef]grep\>' | wc -l

Worse: my fingers have been using egrep for 44 years.  I wonder how long 
it will take me to unlearn it.  Typing "grep -E" is not easier than typing 
"egrep".  Grrr.
