Re: [Bug-ed] Regarding a general interest in ed functionality

    Are there any "wonder features" 

Speaking for myself, Antonio kindly added the --loose-exit-status option
for me so that it would be less frustrating to use as the crontab -e
editor (which is what I generally do, long story).

I recall that he added one other feature at my request, but I've
forgotten what it was!  I'm sure it was wonderful, though :).

I don't think anything will enhance its "popularity".  It is what it is,
and it is never going to replace emacs or vi.

(Antonio: FWIW, usual practice is to leave the NEWS file complete, with
all info for past releases, not just the current release.)

Best,
Karl
