Subject: bug#78883: backslash interpretation in 's' replacement text is a portability problem
Date: Tue, 24 Jun 2025 02:40:57 +0200

Correcting the title. It's probably not a POSIX violation (as I initially
thought). Rather, it's a portability problem; and this is where the '--posix'
option becomes relevant.
