The newline-less input is in v2.49.0 already, but the use of "sed -E" is
new in the 2.50 cycle. So it probably is worth addressing before the
release. In which case I tried to give the patch a very careful read to
avoid any brown paper bags.

OK, makes sense since we now stick the content into the INPUT variable.
That sometimes comes from a file, but we get it via process substitution
with $(cat), so the shell will strip off the trailing newline there. So
we can unconditionally add it back here. Goo.d

OK, this is just replacing the use of "?" with "*". I think it is OK to
be loose here, as we are parsing our own config docs. And if somebody
did write
```foo.bar```::
it is probably OK to parse that anyway. ;)

And then this (plus the indentation above) is just non-semantic
whitespace tidying.
So the whole thing looks good to me.
