I think this change originates from Ævar's comment that it "also makes sense to update the example added in 007d06aa57 [...] which seems to have added jump.grepCmd as a workaround for not having this" [1].

Somehow though, this approach seems a bit backwards to me. I do believe that your series reduces the reasons for using `jump.grepCmd`, but regressing this example usage of `jump.grepCmd` seems a bit hostile. If someone wants to use `ag`, wouldn't we want to hint that they will probably want to use `--column`?

Is there some other `ag --column --foo` that we can give, where `--foo` is not yet in `git grep`? ;-)
