Subject: need option to specify file types to ignore.
Given a language that isn't currently supported (say, java), it would be nice to be able to say "search everything except *foo*", something like: ack -a --ignore '.class .jar" 'System.out' this gives folks that like the tool the ability to use it more effectively before you write a -- <lang> tag for them. Or if they disagree with the settings for your language. Regards.
