Yes, that reasoning more-or-less matches the reason why I said we do
not necessarily want to go "fancier".  But "log -g" output already
makes it fairly clear that the additional information is not part of
the regular log and is a some header-like thingy, so I actually am
OK with --reflog-grep and --grep being different.

The output from "log --show-notes", on the other hand, is even more
conflated and a casual user would view it as part of the message, so
I would imagine that if we ever do the extention to cover notes
data, the normal "--grep" should apply to it.
