A Better sed?

Back to mushrat or over to better-awk

The terse one-letter commands are perfect for quick CLI input.

I love everything about sed except the part where you go even the slightest bit beyond the simplest basics and then the floor drops out from under you and you’re falling into an abyss and now you are going to die.I still have no idea what the "hold space" and "pattern space" are for or how to use the branch instruction. Part of that is a documentation problem.

I’ll get over that whenever I sed-port, but until then…​

I want a discoverable sed that ramps up gradually from obvious and tiny uses (find/replace) to more complicated edits, to complete scripts with (a certain amount of) logic.
