This will probably break that regular expression for Perl, which
*does* understand extended regexps and will probably interpret "\(" as
"[(]". That's not good. Is there a better way to handle this problem
than the way I did? I thought about adding -E to the REINPLACE_CMD
invocation, but that would break for an REINPLACE_CMD that isn't sed
(e.g., Perl)--so it wouldn't improve the situation. Perhaps
REINPLACE_CMD should pass -E to sed and its semantics be modified to
include understanding of extended regexps?
