I don't use ack to search *code*, I use it to search *any non-
generated files that contain text*. How would you search for config
information then, if you wanted to?
But, assuming we won't agree, ack needs to give each of us the
ability to do what we want.
perhaps --j2ee vs --java, or the ability to define our own language
sets, or the ability to exclude file types on the fly, or...
Regards.
