poor-mans-ripgrep.sh - ripgrep for those stuck with grep

	# All my gist code is licensed under the terms of the MIT license.

	# poor-man's ripgrep
	# - like grep, but ignore hidden files and folders (prefixed with a dot) and
	# node_modules.
	# - because grep's --exclude-dir only matches top-level directories, we need to
	# use find
	# - last argument is starting point. It must be provided, otherwise it's tricky
	# to distinguish it from the pattern
	# - any previous arguments are passed to grep before the matching files,
