[Rd] invert argument in grep

Hello,

What about an `invert` argument in grep, to return elements that are 
*not* matching a regular expression :

R> grep("pink", colors(), invert = TRUE, value = TRUE)

would essentially return the same as :

R> colors() [ - grep("pink", colors()) ]


I'm attaching the files that I modified (against today's tarball) for 
that purpose.

Cheers,

Romain
