-       <para>This sed is a little complex and needs some explanation.  It holds
-       the line 273 in a buffer, adds lines 274-286 to it. It then writes the
-       buffer out after line 287 is read. The result is that the line 287 is
-       moved upwards from an incorrect location to its correct location in an
-       #ifdef block.</para>
