sam: remove s (substitute) command use x (extract) and c (change) instead
They are roughly equivalent, instead of
s/pattern/replacement/
to replace the first occurrence of pattern you can specify an address
to the change command:
/pattern/ c/replacement/
the only difference being that the first command is restricted to the
current line.
-+x/pattern/ c/replacement/
also restrictes matches to the current line, but performs the substitution
on the whole line not only the first match. Currently it is not possible
to only replace the n-th match as `s2/pattern/replacement/` would do
in sam(1).
A possible alternative syntax generalizing this concepts and applying
it to the `x` and `g` commands will be investigated in the future.
Global substitution as in
%s/pattern/replacement/g
can be performed using
x/pattern/ c/replacement/
