I recall some time ago there was a discussion of some kind of
variation on grep that could be used to show, e.g.,
all lines in a file containing "foo" occurring within, say,
6 lines of a line containing "bar".

Is there anything available that will do this?
I think I can use awk to do a watered-down version of this,
but if it's already available somewhere, I'd love to see it!

Many thanks.
