 7 Limitations
 *************
 
 If the terminal hangs up, `ed' attempts to write the buffer to file
 `ed.hup'.
 
    `ed' processes FILE arguments for backslash escapes, i.e., in a
 filename, any characters preceded by a backslash (`\') are interpreted
 literally.
 
    If a text (non-binary) file is not terminated by a newline character,
 then `ed' appends one on reading/writing it. In the case of a binary
 file, `ed' does not append a newline on reading/writing.
 
    Per line overhead: 4 `int's.
