Just something more for the records (in case someone tries to reproduce the
above with current versions):

Another commit in BusyBox
(https://git.busybox.net/busybox/commit/?id=f12fb1e4092900f26f7f8c71cde44b1cd7d26439)
seems to have "fully" aligned it's behaviour with that of GNU set (well
"fully" in the sense of the test cases given above in
https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1551#c5612 ).

In especially, BusyBox sed now also seems to consider the 2nd '.' in:
s.\..X.
as a special character and no longer as literal one, i.e. equivalent to:
s/./X/
(haven't teste other special characters)

So with respect to the most recent version, the table would look the same
for BusyBox sed and GNU sed.




The main points of this issue remain however, i.e. that POSIX is ambiguous
with respect to them.
