ack is a grep-like search tool optimized for source code.
All the timing infrastructure for dev is based on the code repo for the Parrot language. Parrot is [offically inactive](http://www.parrot.org/news/inactive-parrot) and I suspect the code base may disappear. We should...
An idea that I had that would be *very* useful and kind of straightforward to implement (still lots of special cases sadly) would be a color search. Let's say I...
Please include support for the [Haxe](https://haxe.org/) source code filetype. Haxe source code files end in .hx. Thanks so much for ack!! (BTW, just upgraded to 3.0.2 after having used v2.02...

We have --with-filename, but not --without-filename (we use --no-filename). Should we at least add --without-filename?

If a user is curious about which files ack will examine, they can specify `-f`. If they're curious about which types apply to a file, they can specify `--show-types`. However,...
Ack, grep, and other programs sensibly print `--` between groups of context (`-A/-B/-C`). However, it would be nice to disable the `--` with an option especially when the output will...
