It is a Lenovo N21 Chromebook*, running Chrome OS 71.0.3578.127, in
developer mode**. "sed --version" reports:
sed (GNU sed) 4.4

* Yes, I am aware of Chromebrew; I am using it as a starting point
but trying to bootstrap as much as possible from source rather than
installing from binary packages (long story).
** Chrome OS provides no shell access at all, nor ability to run any
binaries other than its own, unless in developer mode; presumably
none of its own scripts need a fully functional sed.
