Description

GNU grep supports -A N/-B N to show N lines of context before/after each match, and -C N to show context around a match. It would be nice if we supported these as well.

As far as I know these options are part of POSIX standard.
However, most of the Unices implement the -A, -B, and -C options. It would be a good idea to implement them.
