- t shell_escape_and_print
- b
- : shell_escape_and_print
+ T

Where t, b, :, are all in "original sed",
and T is a "GNU sed specific addition".

Well, yes, sure it can.
But this all started in the name of "portability" (on a shell level).

Wether or not it is sensible to argue about shell level portability,
or sed script level portability, or the availability of GNU tools
well... leave that to some other day.
