I don't disagree, but we already have records for
vim/emacs/clang/python(?). I believe the same argument can be made about
those files too.
I admit I wasn't very clear in what I wrote, so correcting it now - yes, you
are right, I noticed it along with the clangd bits and I never noticed them
until now as I never really had a need to keep an eye on the file using my
local gitignores :). However, that doesn't mean it should become a precedent.
If anything we should remove those too, but at the same time I don't feel a
strong justification for such a change, so instead we should politely refuse
any further changes like this one (strictly non-related to the project) to the
gitignore from now on.
BTW: why do we have __pycache__/ in there? Isn't that a relic from the
old times, when python bindings were living in the same repo?
Probably, but the same applies...
