I had been wondering for a while why I'd import some lib into my project 
and all the sudden my editor configs were all messed up with no way to fix 
them. Then today I noticed a file I had seen in various places on my hard 
drive but never opened...

The sneaky .editorconfig (I'll just call it "*efig*")

So now I can deal with it. Idk how I feel about it. Like I said, it has 
caused me some distress before I learned of it. I've been programming 
nonstop since about 1997; so if I didn't know about this, imagine how many 
others experience the bad touch.

Some options:

   - Officially recommend that developers who use efigs also leave a 
   !IMPORTANT.md or something like this in the project root. In her can be 
   short explains.
   - Standardize that editors/IDEs always prompt the user when it detects 
   an efig.
   - The all new annual efig awareness week.
   - No more efig: Deprecate and decompose. Obviously this one won't 
   happen. Long-live efigs I suppose.
   
Other than that, pretty sweet proj but it was super annoying before I 
realized.

So those are my feels on the sitch, you dirty little sneakachus...
