Your description of the awk script sounds cool.  I haven't tried it
yet, though.  I haven't made up my mind how to display the list of
occurrences.  It's a good idea to do that, but the user interface
isn't clear to me.  Hm.

One approach would be to just have the summary buffer contain
different information -- the matched lines.  That ought to be fairly
easy to do.  But this way, we can't have both the normal list of
messages and the list of occurrences.  Hm.

When you need help integrating your script with nnir.el, please
holler.
