//@ Available options:
//@
//@ + `-i`: Replace contents of 'file' in-place. _Note that no backups will be created!_
//@
//@ Examples:
//@
//@ ```javascript
//@ sed('-i', 'PROGRAM_VERSION', 'v0.1.3', 'source.js');
//@ sed(/.*DELETE_THIS_LINE.*\n/, '', 'source.js');
//@ ```
//@
//@ Reads an input string from `file` and performs a JavaScript `replace()` on the input
//@ using the given search regex and replacement string. Returns the new string after replacement.
