If grep has these features

       -L, --files-without-match
              Suppress normal output; instead print the  name  of
              each input file from which no output would normally
              have been printed.  The scanning will stop  on  the
              first match.

       -l, --files-with-matches
              Suppress  normal  output; instead print the name of
              each input file from which  output  would  normally
              have  been  printed.  The scanning will stop on the
              first match.

Then how could it be that it lacks a switch to just print one match,
equivalent to awk '/pattern/{print;exit}'.
