The table doesn't yet distinguish between lacking a command line flag due to absence of a feature vs due to the feature being the default. This is similar to the situation with case-sensitive search in GNU grep, which ends up with a blank cell even though it is the default.

It's a fair criticism but I don't think it is designed to be misleading.
- fragmede 9y agoMaybe not designed to be misleading, but misleading nonetheless. For `grep`, `grep -i needle` is (approximately) equal to `ack/ag needle`, but looking at the table I wouldn't think grep supports case sensitivity.
- petdance 9y agoI've updated the phrasing so it says "Re-enable case-sensitive search over case-insensitve or smart-case search".
