WHAT FILE IS THAT IN?

Did you ever just want to know what files search patterns were in but didn't want to see the, search results?

Turn this:
$ grep quick *

story1.txt: The quick brown fox
story1.txt: The turtle was not quick.
recipe.txt: How to make soup quick.

Into this:
$ grep -l quick *

story1.txt
recipe.txt
