I'm curious : what is the use case for this utility ? If I look at the README, it says :

> Modifies files when matches are found

Just like sed's -i option (except that -i allows you to specify a backup extension just in case)

> Recursive search on directories with -r

I usually use find with sed, so it's not so much a problem (and it actually allows to filter the files by extension, exclude directories, etc, which is pretty handy)

> Uses JavaScript syntax for regular expressions and replacement strings

I'm not sure that it's an advantage :)

So, is there something that I missed ?
