Subject: Solve Exercise 7-7: Match pattern in files

This one was tricky, but the solution was rather simple.

+/* The C Programming Language: 2nd Edition
+ *
+ * Exercise 7-7: Modify the pattern finding program of Chapter 5 to take its
+ * input from a set of named files or, if no files are named as arguments, from
+ * the standard input. Should the file name be printed when a matching line is
+ * found?
+ *
+ * Notes: The program in question is on page 117 of the book. Note from various
+ * errata documents (found around the Web) that the line:
+ *
+ * while (c = *++argv[0])
+ *
+ * is not correct, since it's attempting to modify something that the standard
+ * makes no guarantee to be modifiable. So to monkey-patch it, I used the
+ * typical 'i is the iterator' variable.
+ *
+ * The biggest obstacle to this exercise was correcting the original code from
+ * page 117.
+ *
+ * A gotcha that I came across is figuring out how to make use of or save the
+ * pattern that the user will be searching for. I could have allocated a
+ * character array (string) and stored it directly, but it made more sense to
+ * create another character pointer and leverage the storage that argv was
+ * already making use of. So I ended up with two pointers to the same data,
+ * like hardlinks in a *nix filesystem.
+ *
+ * The filename that a pattern is found in *should* be present, because it's
+ * trivial to match text in multiple files. Generally when one is looking for
+ * text, they want to *edit* that text, and editing it is fruitless if you
+ * don't have the file name handy. That said, putting it behind an option is a
+ * great way to add extensibility to it.
