I hope GNU ed will continue to have a -l option even if it is a no-op. Otherwise it will be painful to discern what option to use or omit.
Don't worry. I do not plan to create any backward incompatibility here. If '-l' becomes the default behavior because there is a consensus for it, I'll leave option '-l' as a no-op "forever" and maybe add '--strict-exit-status'.
