sed VS cat,less,grep,egrep,awk,tac,head,tail,tee; sed not "binary" in pipe (1.3.12)

[meant to bounce]

Try:

  printf "hi\r\n"|sed '/foo/d'|od -a

Notice that the "\r" is filtered out.  Only sed acts this way,
cat,less,grep,egrep,awk,tac,head,tail, and tee all pass the
carriage return through.

It would be nice if "sed" behaved consistently w/r to all the
other tools above.

thanks/regards,
