Merging of ack.vim/ag.vim and ervandew/ag ?

[blueyed]

There is ack.vim [1], which can be easily used with "ag", too. There is ag.vim [2], a fork of ack.vim, defaulting to "ag".

And there is "ag", which I just discovered.

ack.vim/ag.vim provides a lot of mappings for the quickfix window for handling the results (https://github.com/rking/ag.vim#keyboard-shortcuts) and provides different commands to manipulate the quickfix list (https://github.com/rking/ag.vim/blob/master/plugin/ag.vim).

While evandew/ag appears to be more sophisticated related to the invocation of "ag" (file filter, option completion, argument parsing, escaping, ...).

I am a long-time user of ack.vim, with ag as ackprg/grepprg, and primarily want to get opinions about merging features/functionality of both.
