- *nix stuff.
- Balkanisation in versions and accepted regexes. (awk is better than sed tho)
- On Dos/Windows, other toolchains might install incompatible versions earlier in PATH
- mixes output with functionality. What is user output, what is needed for chained programs?
- on commercial unix same with properietary and GNU version
- Requires decent pipe implementations on relevant platforms
- DIY solution with bad errorhandling.
- I never liked regexes to begin with.
