You raise good points, thank you. I hope to support some of those features, since they seem like nice conveniences.

In principle I'd be fine standardizing on a common ignore file. We'd need to come up with a format (I think I'd vote for "do what gitignore does", since I think that's what we're both doing now anyway).

Adding files to this list is kind of a bummer though. I could probably get away with replacing `.rgignore` proper, but I suspect you'd need to add it without replacing `.agignore`, or else those angry users you were talking about might show themselves. :-)

I do kind of like `.grepignore` since `grep` has kind of elevated itself to "search tool" as a term, but I can see how that would be confusing. `.searchignore` feels too long. `.ignore` and `.ignorerc` feel a bit too generic, but either seems like the frontrunner at the moment.
