Recently noticed that our sed(1) differs from its GNU
analog in that in -i mode it considers all files as a
single sequence of lines while the latter treats each file
independently.  The in-line mode isn't in POSIX, so it isn't
really clear which way is correct.

Aren't sed's addresses required to be cumulative across its
input files?
