Thank you for this suggestion and for providing the code - that's an 
excellent start.

For any contribution to be incorporated into GNU sed
(or even evaluated / considered), we first ask the contributor to assign 
copyright of the code to the FSF.

You can read more about it here:
  https://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-assign.en.html
  https://www.fsf.org/licensing/assigning.html

To start the process, please fill and send the following form:

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/plain/doc/Copyright/request-assign.future

Now to the actual patch:
Looks interested, but may I ask for some specific use cases where each 
short-hand command would be used, and be a clear improvement over the 
existing commands ?
