Thanks. It's also just clearer!
BTW, do you know about the --posix option to sed?
In this case that would be unlikely to help: POSIX explicitly allows
using semicolon as a command separator as an extension. :-) (It also
seems to be historical practice: configure itself uses this feature.)
Also, various GNU programs have differing notions of what "POSIX mode"
is. For example, GNU Awk seems (as far as I have looked so far) to
actually be POSIX Awk if --posix is given, but bash is well-known for
still offering GNU extensions even when "POSIX mode" is selected. Bash
POSIX mode only guarantees that a script written to POSIX will run, not
that scripts that run under "bash --posix" will actually also run under
a POSIX shell. >-<
