It is very frustrating. In my personal sh library, I probe for `ed` and, if not available, I alias to `ex -s`; I then write in-place editing scripts carefully to use only common functionality to both. Sigh.

Yeah... to my even bigger surprise, ex also was nowhere to be found!
That is very strange; ex should be part of Arch base... oh well, probe for `vi -s` and if this does not work either, get karma on reddit or whatever by making fun of Arch :D

Now that I look at it, base package is missing [0] a bit of stuff:
