I'm interested in your ideas about how to do it.  You can look at the
earlier messages in the archive.  One problem for greppish commands is
that the sections are separated by double line feeds, but there isn't a
separator before the first record, nor after the last one (I think), so
you have to design the command to deal with those issues.
