BUGS
zgrep(1) does not handle flags that take arguments if there is no
whitespace between the flag and the argument, for example:
zgrep -enfs /etc/rpc
When more than one -e flag is used matching should occur for any of the
patterns (similar to multiple patterns supplied in a file with the -f
flag). zgrep(1) only matches the last -e pattern.
