Why config implicitly ignores editorconfig?

[olsonpm]

I read through some comments in the pr introducing editorconfig integration - but I can't find a reason why specifying a config should ignore a search for editorconfig.

My expectation is for the cli to parse .editorconfig for the filenames unless I specify --no-editorconfig. I also expect a specified --config to only modify where .prettierrc is found.

I ask because I'm trying to create a PR integrating an API change in cosmiconfig, and I would like to understand this behavior before I continue.

cc. @josephfrazier. I don't think we settled intentionally on one side or the other.

I think you are right in that --config .prettierrc should still respect .editorconfig, and --config .prettierrc --no-editorconfig should not.

Hmm, it looks like I originally added this behavior in 7c2b545, but I don't remember why. I agree with @azz that passing --config should still respect .editorconfig, so I'll open a PR to fix this. However, one side effect of fixing this will be that editor integrations calling prettier --config ... will still have to wait for the editorconfig resolution process if they don't also pass --no-editorconfig, but that seems preferable to the current behavior.

hey thanks so much. I can work on the PR if you'd like as well.
