Idea: Color code output based on the type of the file #605

Closed petdance closed 7 years ago

If ack knows --perl from --php from --sql, maybe ack could color code the search results in some way? So I can say "Oh, there's an orange file, it's PHP, I wasn't expecting that".

I'm not saying we should necessarily do this. But it's an idea.
