i don't think that's an improvement at all. the current pattern
described by -s will be much more familiar to most people. not to
mention that readers are advised to read ed(1) for the syntax, and if
they go there they will also find `/' being used.

this may be useful. it could even explain why `/' is not being used as
the separator.
