  I don't know what the fuss is about. The 'Coreutils for Windows' page
clearly says that it includes grep (and cut, but indeed not sed or awk).

<https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/core-utils/overview>

<https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/core-utils/commands>

  grep is a different part of *uutils* (uutils/grep, not
uutils/coreutils), but *included* in 'Coreutils for Windows'.

  Anyway, as mentioned, I prefer Cygwin, which is (modular and) more
complete than both 'Coreutils for Windows' and GnuWin.
