Hi Dan.

    It'd be nice to be able to use extended regexps in script
    run on both bsd and gnu.

The -E option, as a synonim of -r, has been supported by GNU sed since
at least 2006.  However it was not documented until recently.  See
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-utils/2013-10/msg00010.html.
