ripgrep doesn't yet support compressed files (z/gz), while grep/ack/ag do. On *nix it's extremely common to have sparsely compressed directories, from logfiles to non-changing documentation. I really wished ripgrep would just stream to a fast coprocess and support any stream compressor transparently instead of trying to use a built-in rust library.
