Depending on what tool you use, it should be possible to exclude objdir's
from search anyway. I know ripgrep[1] (for example) will look at
`.gitignore` in-tree and ignore any top-level directories that begin with
`obj`. I guess pretty much any tool should be able to be configured to
ignore object directories similarly.
