Comment(by bdu...@…):
The sed man page says:
sed [OPTION]... {script-only-if-no-other-script} [input-file]...
Using the {script-only-if-no-other-script} construct is position
dependent.
In the past we've used different constructs to do similar things to
enhance the learning aspect of the book. This is somewhat similar to the
position of using `head -3 filename` vs `head -n3 filename`. In my mind,
more explicit is generally better.
A quick check with a few greps show 12 instances with using sed with -e
and 26 without. I'm in favor of leaving the style of these instructions
as they are.
Occasional use of the -i.orig construct is OK with me too.
