hi,

i was thinking about adding acronyms such as W/ and W/O but currently
wtf(6) uses the slash ("/") character as the command delimiter for the
sed RE.  since pipe ("|") is not very likely to appear in an acronym and
must be prefixed with a backslash ("\") anyway, i propose to change the
RE to allow the slash ("/") character in acronyms. what about the
following patch?
