Which are the cases you (and others ofc) think it would be reasonable for?

marienz mentioned something similar a few months ago, wrt allowing unquoted
expansions for specific vars that are used in eg for loops (like A or
SRC_URI) and not for any others.
ed(1) really is the tool to use for that -- g/RegEx/p does exactly what grep
does, and there's no compatibility issue for FreeBSD vs Linux. (It's also a
lot more capable than sed, and there really is no need for awk in this
instance.)
