There is one issue here with sed, complicating simple aliasing or
substitution, requiring a shell function or script be used in the
general case.

If -e is used, then any inline script argument must be preceded by -e.

A simple alias, requiring an inline script argument, would have to be:
	alias sed='sed -es/\\r\$// -e'.

A shell function or script has to examine arguments to see if they are
options and if they have arguments, and whether any option is -e,
--expression or -f, --file.
Options and their arguments are skipped, and if -[ef] is not seen, the
next argument is an inline script, and must be preceded by -e.

For portable and safe scripts, explicit use of -e before inline script
arguments, and -- to end options, before input files, is recommended for
that reason.
And for makefiles, use SED, and default SED=sed or /bin/sed if not defined.

> But the -e method won't work for grep and for awk not in all cases.

Then you have to explicitly use tr, sed, or d2u/dos2unix to pre-process
Windows input or post-process Windows output.
