-written purely in Perl, and takes advantage of the power of Perl's
-regular expressions.
+Ack-like tools such as the silver search (ag) and git/hg/bzr grep are
+well supported too.
Usage:
Type `M-x ack' and provide a pattern to search.
Coloring is performed using the standard library ansi-color.el.
