Command parsing in ed is not trivial. There are a lot of changes in 
regex.c between 1.13 and 1.14.2, and I am not even sure that all the 
bugs have been fixed. Even if it were possible to optionally enable the 
old behavior, maybe it can't be done without introducing regressions. It 
needs some thinking. Of course, patches are welcome.


Best regards,
Antonio.
