Replacement with regexes!
Pre-release
Pre-release
Replace regexes by default, like grep, and like other replacement tools.
To treat patterns as text literals (the old behaviour), use the --literal
/-l
option.
The --escape
/-e
option is deprecated: it has an illogical name, since it unescapes the pattern, and it has little use (grep has no equivalent).
The formatting of the man page is fixed: no more paragraph break in the middle of the synopsis.
Feedback on this release is most welcome, both on the design and about any bugs I may have introduced.
