Description

@sylvestre

GNU sed supports case-conversion escapes in the replacement text of s///. None of them work in uutils sed today.

$ echo "abc def" | sed 's/b\(.*\)/\U&/'
script uutils sed GNU sed 4.9
s/b\(.*\)/\U&/ aUbc def aBC DEF
s/b\(.*\)/\u&/ aubc def aBc def
s/b\(.*\)/\L&/ a\Lbc def abc def
s/b\(.*\)/\l&/ a\lbc def abc def
s/b\(.*\)/\E&/ a\Ebc def abc def
