[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hello,

I use sed a lot. To make it more powerful, please add eval command.

With e and s///e, we can somehow eval shell command, isn’t nicer and easier
to eval sed syntax itself?

I would consider this as a great meta programming feature adding to sed.

Thanks.

Aeron Wang
