Re: [patch] sed(1) - edit files in-place

  Here's a patch (ported from FreeBSD) that adds in-place editing support
  to sed(1).

The problem is that when one starts making extensions like this to
POSIX-mandated commands, people then start using them in shell scripts
and the script becomes unportable. So I want to think about this for
a bit. It does not strike me as the most useful diff.
