  How long does it take you to write a program which does the same thing
as this:

    fgrep '#include "header.hh"' *.cc

  How long does it take to write the program *and* compile it *and* run it?
Why would you do that when you *already* have a program which does that
(namely 'grep')?

  And I didn't even use any wildcards there.
