Yeah, i really liked the riddle that circulated a few years back, "Q. Why does Wolverine not use GREP? "A. Because Wolverine is a huge Ack-man!"
If someone wants to make --hugeackman / --hughjackman / --wolverine happen, I would /guess/ Andy will cheerfully include it if it's as easy as not ..., so someone would need to either (a) make or procure a new-for-purpose _open-licensed_ (1) ASCII-Art Fan-Art Wolverine file or (b) contact author(s) of an existing fan-art ASCII-art and solicit explicit permission to use their fan-art in an FLOSS project per (1). e.g. Fire Dolphin via DeviantArt https://www.deviantart.com/firedolphin/art/Wolverine-s-Head-8404141 or author unknown via alt.asciiart group https://www.asciiart.eu/comics/x-men // Bill (1) Licensed preferably under same as the project Artistic 2.0 License http://www.perlfoundation.org/artistic_license_2_0 but any DFSG(2) compatible license should work, e.g. any combination of CC/CC-CC0=PD/CC-BY/CC-SA . (Alas GFDL is not acceptable since we include the Ascii Art in a source file; likewise are CC-ND/CC-NC are non-free and unacceptable.) WHY: Since Ack is packaged by Debian, we need either documented public-domain (PD) status or demonstrable license-compatible status for all reused components for the whole project to be in DFSG compliance. We had to switch text files in the test suite because academic fair-use literary extracts didn't cut it; Ack'ing a literary file for a character name does not meet the "speaks to the original" test for Fair Use performance/remix. Alas not everything you can download is legal to republish, it might not even be legally published there.)
