Solaris' sed was choking on the i\ commands used in
t4015-diff-whitespace as it couldn't parse the program properly.
Modify two uses of sed that worked in GNU sed but not Solaris'
(/usr/bin or /usr/xpg4/bin) to an equivalent form that is handled
properly by both.

Why do you need the \<nl>?  Since it is inside double quotes the shell
will remove it during expansion.

It's an escape. Without it, sed throws:

sed: -e expression #1, char 5: expected \ after `a', `c' or `i'

The shell removes it before sed can see it.

I think Andreas means the "feed blank line" part, i.e.

>> +     test_seq 5 | sed "/3/i\\
>> +\
>>  " >x &&

should be the same as

>> +     test_seq 5 | sed "/3/i\\
>>  " >x &&

because the lone \<nl> will be eaten and will not be seen by sed.

Do you see different results on Solaris between the following two?

	$ echo "/3/i\\
	\
	" | od
	$ echo "/3/i\\
        " | od

This addresses Andreas' comment about the extraneous \<nl>.
Sorry, I misunderstood the original comment.
