sam: remove s (substitute) command use x (extract) and c (change) ins…
…tead 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/
