This is a fantastic idea.

I have installed gron on all my development machines.

Will probably use it heavily when working with awscli. I'm not conversant enough in the jq query language to not have to look things up when writing even somewhat complex scripts. And I don't want to learn awscli's custom query syntax. :)

Thought at first that it might be possible to replicate gron's functionality by some magic composition of jq, xargs, and grep, but that was before I understood the full awesomeness of gron - piping through grep, sed maintains gron context so you can still ungron later.

Nice work, thank you!
