Another overlooked advantage of greppability is to be able to fuzzy the search, or discover related code that wasn't directly linked to what you were looking for.
For instance if you were hunting for the method updating a `foo_bar` instance, grepping it will also give you instances of `generic_foo_bar` and `shim_foo_bar`. It can be noise, as it can be stuff you wouldn't have seen otherwise and save your bacon. If you're not familiar with a project I think it's quite an advantage.
> hope that the developers made it grepable
hopefully it's enforced at an organization level.
