No. We were just discussing options.

or,
sed -ir 's:.*(#.*BYTE.*).*:\1:' \
include/freetype/config/ftoption.h
which is even shorter. :)
This only uses one backslash. I personally try to avoid at signs in
seds. They just don't look right to me, but that's just a personal thing.
There is also the option of:
pushd include/freetype/config
sed -ir 's/.*(#.*BYTE.*).*/\1/' ftoption.h
popd
This puts the sed all on on one line and uses an additional construct
that users might not use regularly. Total lines are more though and it
makes it bash dependent.
