Hello, I’ve run into some behavior that I think does not conform to the Posix spec.
The command `,,p` prints the entire buffer in GNU ed (1.14.2). However, one of the last sections of the Posix page on ed ( http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/ed.html ) explicitly notes that `,,` is the range `$,$`, not `1,$`. BSD ed on OSX follows the Posix spec and prints the last line only. It’s not completely clear to me why this is the recommended behavior, though. I think it depends whether you fill in the missing addresses from left to right or right to left, which is not discussed anywhere in the spec.
