Description

Both xpg4 sed and /usr/bin/sed are closed source.

We need a replacement for them.

Notable differences (documented) between the two closed versions:

"l" has more rigorous output for pattern processing in xpg4 sed.
xpg4 sed handles multibyte characters properly (as long as they don't have embedded NULLs!)

That's it!

I think we can reasonably eliminate the legacy sed with a POSIX compliant sed.

Small issue here - usage() is missing \n at the end:

yuri@illumos:~$ /usr/bin/sed -i
/usr/bin/sed: option requires an argument -- i
usage: sed script [-Ealn] [-i extension] [file ...]
       sed [-Ealn] [-i extension] [-e script] ... [-f script_file] ... [file ...]yuri@illumos:~$
