I've been using sed since 1997, IIRC. I still don't grok that expression
fluently. Are you saying that people who don't read the (IMHO rather arcane)
sed regex syntax, "having problems" with such syntax, shouldn't touch
initscripts? At the very least, it should commented that what is does is
indeed converting "(whatever) --foo=bar (whatever)" to "bar" when $1=foo.
