### Instructions

	usage: gogrep commands [packages]

A command is of the form "-A pattern", where -A is one of:

       -x  find all nodes matching a pattern

       -g  discard nodes not matching a pattern

       -v  discard nodes matching a pattern

       -a  filter nodes by certain attributes

       -s  substitute with a given syntax tree

       -w  write source back to disk or stdout

A pattern is a piece of Go code which may include wildcards. It can be:

       a statement (many if split by semicolons)

       an expression (many if split by commas)

       a type expression

       a top-level declaration (var, func, const)

       an entire file

Wildcards consist of `$` and a name. All wildcards with the same name

within an expression must match the same node, excluding "_". Example:

       $x.$_ = $x // assignment of self to a field in self

If `*` is before the name, it will match any number of nodes. Example:

       fmt.Fprintf(os.Stdout, $*_) // all Fprintfs on stdout

`*` can also be used to match optional nodes, like:

	for $*_ { $*_ }    // will match all for loops

	if $*_; $b { $*_ } // will match all ifs with condition $b

The nodes resulting from applying the commands will be printed line by

line to standard output.

Here are two simple examples of the -a operand:

       gogrep -x '$x + $y'                   // will match both numerical and string "+" operations

       gogrep -x '$x + $y' -a 'type(string)' // matches only string concatenations
