Good, I think the addition of --basic-regexp is a nice touch.

Do we want to yield short-and-sweet "-P" to perl-regexp? git-grep does
so to match GNU grep, but we are not matching anything here (except
ourselves in git-grep). I'd think most people who use it regularly would
just set grep.patternType.
I could go either way, though.
