--- Comment #17 from crb <crb@ChrisBowman.com> ---
Reading this thread it seems that \s (and I note also \S) isn't supported by
our sed whereas they are supported as whitespace and not whitespace in GNU =
sed.
 While one could work around this, as has been suggested preciously, would =
it
be a good idea to support this?  Are there other escape sequences that GNU =
sed
supports that we don't?  If patches that support these GNUisms were submitt=
ed
and were not otherwise objectionable would they be likely to be committed?
