# URL format:    hwgrep://<regexp>&<option>
#
# where <regexp> is a Python regexp according to the re module
#
# violating the normal definition for URLs, the character `&` is used to
# separate parameters from the arguments (instead of `?`, but the question mark
# is heavily used in regexp'es)
#
# options:
# n=<N>     pick the N'th entry instead of the first one (numbering starts at 1)
# skip_busy tries to open port to check if it is busy, fails on posix as ports are not locked!
