I dont follow sed very closely, but from the comments in cvs, sed revision
1.89 appears to add that.

"Patch from Simon Krahnke:
I wrote a patch for busybox for our company's (www.lisa.de)
private use. [...] To sed it adds the '!'-inversion of addresses."

Also, its preferable if you make your patches wiht -U 3.
