I see I am in the hands of a resolution master. The *real* bug is that 'ack --elisp' searches not only *.el but also TAGS. TAGS files contain data derived from and applicable to elisp code, but they are not themselves elisp. I think the built-in elisp type-set is buggy. Should I open another issue for that?","url":"https://api.github.com/repos/petdance/ack/issues/comments/3195881"},"action":"created"}
