let g:ags_agargs = {
  \ '--column'         : ['', ''],
  \ '--line-number'    : ['', ''],
  \ '--context'        : ['g:ags_agcontext', '-C'],
  \ '--max-count'      : ['g:ags_agmaxcount', ''],
  \ '--heading'        : ['',''],
  \ '--smart-case'     : ['','-S'],
  \ '--color'          : ['always',''],

  \ }
