POSIX incompatibiltiies
technically s with no match is an error, but no ed implementation does it like that within g. you could probably hack together a "fail line" at the end of your file that is guaranteed to have all of the substitutions you want to make on it and then discarded after.
ever need to calculate your powers of two but only have ed(1) on hand?

Q
are there scripts that can't reasonably be written in a monospace terminal? like just wide characters aren't enough, since double-wide characters can align that way, and text with complex shaping or hinting is still possible if it's rendered all at once i think.
i suppose any vertical script, for one..
localization ramble
stop.... assuming... the arguments of your weird format string will be in the same order in your target language...
