It's under "Addresses in sed":
... a '$' character that addresses the last line of input ...
from:
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/sed.html
Various places in that test get the content of files that way, so I
thought it's better to just follow the rest of the test. I agree that
there are better ways to achieve the same thing though.
