json file type

[Chris Jerdonek]

Has there been any consideration of making .json a recognized type (or including it in a javascript type)?  I'm new to ack and was tripped up temporarily by json files not being searched.  For comparison, YAML is a recognized type:

    --[no]yaml         .yaml .yml

Thanks for a great tool,

I'm not going to add it in ack 1.x, although you can certainly add it yourself in your .ackrc.  I understand it's comparable to YAML, but at this point I'm afraid of the negative effects.

ack 2.0 will be less surprising.
