OK, so there's /etc/ackrc, ~/.ackrc, and ./.ackrc.
I'd find it useful to have a .ackrc in subdirs so that when ack recurses
into them it can, for example have a custom --ignore-dir setting for
just that bit of the tree.
I mostly want this because I work on both libphonenumber and
Number::Phone, and the working directory for the latter includes a
second checkout of the former. It would be nice to prevent ack from
returning anything from that second checkout.

make it any better, it will only make it more expensive and foolish.
