Andrew Gallant fdea9723ca doc: clarify a case where -m/--max-count is not strictly respected
In #2843, it's requested that these trailing contextual lines should be
displayed as non-matching because they exceed the limit. While
reasonable, I think that:

1. This would be a weird complication to the implementation.
2. This would overall be less intuitive and more complex. Today, there
   is never a case where ripgrep emits a matching line in a way where
   the match isn't highlighted.

Closes #2843

ripgrep core

This is the core ripgrep crate. In particular, main.rs is where the main function lives.

Most of ripgrep core consists of two things:

  • The definition of the CLI interface, including docs for every flag.
  • Glue code that brings the grep-matcher, grep-regex, grep-searcher and grep-printer crates together to actually execute the search.

Currently, there are no plans to make ripgrep core available as an independent library. However, much of the heavy lifting of ripgrep is done via its constituent crates, which can be reused independent of ripgrep. Unfortunately, there is no guide or tutorial to teach folks how to do this yet.
