Do inefficient grep/sed behaviors have a secondary benefit in seeding the context with breadcrumbs of code from irrelevant matches?

In theory maybe, but in practice it hurts more than it helps I think. Irrelevant context makes the model more likely to reason from the wrong code (and it's slower and more expensive).
