Hello,
Checking your patch I have discovered that ed does not even have real
support for edition of binary files; the control characters aren't
correctly (or at all) shown on screen.
I do not think making ed a multibyte capable editor is a good idea. Much
less if the changes are in the form of ad-hoc fixes for specific
characters from specific charsets. Even improving the support for
edition of binary files may break current use of ed.
If you need to edit zh_CN.GB18030 texts I recommend you to use Emacs or
some other utf-8 capable editor.
Regards,
Antonio.
