[Feature Request]: grepcomp should check all dyno locations, too

[lydia-duncan]

Summary of Feature

Description:
This keeps bugging me so I figured I should file an issue. When making compiler changes, I really appreciate being able to use grepcomp instead of having to write a normal grep. But since we started developing dyno and putting some of its code in frontend, a grepcomp does not return all compiler results. We should update grepcomp to search all compiler-related locations, not just things related to the old compiler.

I suspect grepmake and grepdoc could also use an update to make sure they're still as useful as we'd like.

Is this issue currently blocking your progress?
no, it's just annoying

Code Sample

$ grepcomp ExprParenth

This is probably not too hard to do, so I may get around to it the next time it bugs me. I'm just not the most confident on script changes, so have been putting it off out of fear XD

[lydia-duncan]

I think grepcomp should also be updated to search locations used for chpldoc, the language server, anything that relies on compiler code

[mppf]

Might be nonsense, but: a grepcomp could be interpreted as "grep the compiler/ directory" which would not include these other locations. Under that interpretation, it might be confusing to have it search frontend/.

It's not particularly important to me that grepcomp work any way at all. I'm more bringing this up to say that 1) we should consider changing the name and 2) we should absolutely put a comment at the top of the script (and/or other help materials) that communicates its purpose.

I think those are both reasonable suggestions
