Document and test current semantics of -w. #582

Closed epa closed 8 years ago

epa commented 8 years ago

As discussed in https://github.com/petdance/ack2/pull/558, this patch does not change any behaviour, but more clearly documents the current semantics of the -w flag and adds some tests for it.

If you can merge this, I will then send a separate pull request suggesting to change the -w semantics to something more useful, and updating the tests and documentation accordingly.

Typo: sematics → semantics Also, "semantics" in an uncountable noun, so it should be:

semantics is quite subtle

Thanks, will fix spelling and grammar, and make new pull request. (Hopefully now that --sort-files is in the test suite it will pass tests.)
