>Description:
GNU grep has a neat feature, in that its several major modes
(general, extended, fixed, and compress'd) are available both as
command-line switches, and by alternate calling names.
sed(1) should do the same! Just as grep(1) can be called as "grep"
for basic regex's and either "egrep" or "grep -E" for extended
regex's, sed(1) should be callable as "esed" as well as "sed -E" for
extended regex's.
OK, "should" is a bit strong a presumptuous. But I like the idea, so
here's the patch.
>How-To-Repeat:
Spent 10 minutes trying to figure out why sed isn't working, then
realize it's interpreting basic regex's instead of extended. Then
spend 30 seconds trying to figure out why egrep works and esed
doesn't.
