sed can do it all. Really. Notes:
- I separate re_quote() cause I think it can be useful in other places.

shouldn't be a runtime error.
- I'm sure sed may die horribly if you try to feed it a 9GB oneline
file. However, if so, it should not produce any output anyway. ;)
If this would ever be considered a real problem, dd(1) would help
(as espie already mentioned).

here (see below)

interpreter=$(

Ah, but what happens when you run that thru a pure binary file that
spans a single line ?...
That is mentioned just above re_quote... :-)
