I was missing that -O enforces -l, and that it makes the pager open all
files directly from the worktree, one by one.  Somehow I assumed that it
would pipe something like the output of "grep -h -C inf" to the pager,
colour marks and all -- similar to what is done without -O, except that
it would start a new pager for each file.

I think the "pager" part of the long option name confused me, but that's
a weak excuse.  Just ignore me, your original patch was fine.

Hmm, that could be useful, also with -A and -B.
