To be honest, I strongly dislike this. It really feels like trying to |
| 14 |
make an adapter for a square wheel, while the right solution would be to |
| 15 |
replace the wheel. On top of that, ton of evals which are pretty much |
| 16 |
a huge "no-no". |

Perhaps it would be better to forget about trying to work miracles with |
| 19 |
sed and instead write a trivial shell replacement for the most common |
| 20 |
use cases. One thing I'd love to see is a simple substitution command |
| 21 |
that would work for paths/CFLAGS on RHS without having to worry about |
| 22 |
them conflicting with the pattern delimiter. |
