No change to logic, only docs.
This documents the special sed syntax (ex.
shx sed s/foo/bar/g filename.txt
). With that, this mentions that/
is a specialcharacter, so the user must escape that if it's present in either the
regex or replacement string.
This also documents how Windows handles single quotes differently, so
it's desirable to avoid single quotes in package.json scripts. This part
isn't specific to sed, but since it's popular to quote sed expressions,
I'm adding this to the docs at the same time.
