That was my thought too. A quick check of LFS shows by my count 8 seds (4 more in the Makefile). The only unusual construct is using the ampersand like: s/-is/&R/g. Checking BLFS, I see a few more, but none using the baskreference notation. > After all, we *do* claim to be a teaching and learning tool.
