"The escape sequence '\n' shall match a <newline> embedded in
the pattern space."
It is unclear whether this also applies to a \n embedded in a
character class. Disable the existing handling of \n in a character
class following Mac OS X, GNU sed version 4.1.5 with --posix, and
SunOS 5.10 /usr/bin/sed.

The jot(1) regression tests directory contained two tests named `wx' and
`wX', which doesn't work on case insensitive filesystems. Rename `wX' to
`wX1'.

each file independently from other files. The new semantics are
desired in the most of practical cases, e.g.: delete lines 5-9
from each file.
Keep the previous semantics of -i under a new option, -I, which
uses a single continuous address space covering all files to edit
in-place -- they are too cool to just drop them.
Add regression tests for -i and -I.

Otherwise the unclosed range would bogusly extend to the end
of stream.
Add a basic regression test for the bug fixed. (This change
also fixes the more complex case 5.3 from `multitest.t'.)

in a more reasonable way than BSD sed does: they properly
close the range even if we branched over its end. No doubt,
the range `1,5' should not match lines from 9 through 14.
them are related to the `c' function's need to know if we are at
the actual end of the address range. (It must print the text not
earlier than the whole pattern space was deleted.) It appears the
only sed function with this requirement.
There is `lastaddr' set by applies(), which is to notify the `c'
function, but it can't always help because it's false when we are
hitting the end of file early. There is also a bug in applies()
due to which `lastaddr' isn't set to true on degenerate ranges such
as `$,$' or `N,$' if N appears the last line number.
Handling early EOF condition in applies() could look more logical,
but it would effectively revert sed to the unreasonable behaviour
rev. 1.26 of main.c fought against, as it would require lastline()
be called for each line within each address range. So it's better
to call lastline() only if needed by the `c' function.
Together with this change to sed go regression tests for the bugs
fixed (c1-c3). A basic test of `c' (c0) is also added as it helped
me to spot my own error.

I have verified these with GNU sed 4.1.5 (and in some cases with Solaris
sed) and they are identical, with the following exceptions:
5.3: The result is unspecified and BSD sed behaves differently.
6.3: GNU sed gets it wrong
7.1: GNU sed gets it wrong
7.8: BSD sed gets it wrong
According to IEEE Std 1003.1, 2004 "Whenever the pattern space is
written to standard output or a named file, sed shall immediately
follow it with a <newline>."
An attempt at the same correction might have been made with r1.3,
which is however identical with r1.2.
wildcard specifications. Earlier the only wildcard syntax
was "-j 0" for "any jail". There were at least
two shortcomings in it: First, jail ID 0 was abused; it
meant "no jail" in other utils, e.g., ps(1). Second, it
was impossible to match processed not in jail, which could
be useful to rc.d developers. Therefore a new syntax is
introduced: "-j any" means any jail while "-j none" means
out of jail. The old syntax is preserved for compatibility,
but now it's deprecated because it's limited and confusing.
Update the respective regression tests. While I'm here,
make the tests more complex but sensitive: Start several
processes, some in jail and some out of jail, so we can
detect that only the right processes are killed by pkill
or matched by pgrep.
