Er no, that probably wouldn't be appropriate.  I was thinking a
separate buffer like some of the `<space>*' buffers, like ` *nntpd' or 
` *gnus article copy'.

Still harping on a way to have both a summary buffer as we now have
*plus* a buffer containing the string match hits.  

Probably too complicated.  Especially if trying to have that extra
buffer be similar to `M-x grep' buffers with the added hypertext. 

However, even without the hypertext, having those line matches
available would be handy at times.
