| I'm puzzled why g/x/= prints 3 twice rather than 1, 3.
Add an extra line at the end (not containing x) and you'll see it
prints 4 4, which makes what happened obvious.
The = command with no address prints the number of lines in the file,
which in your case happened to be 3 (that line 3 contained x was a
coincidence).
g/x/.=
would do what you intended. (Most commands that you'd use with a g//
prefix default to '.' if no address is given, '=' happens to be one which
doesn't.)
