Thanks, this looks very useful.  I will try it when I get the chance.

Is `urgrep' a full featured replacement for `rgrep'?  Is there anything
missing, and/or something that will be hard to add?

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.
