sed read X lines after match
I want to do something like sed -n '/PATTERN/,+10p' and get the ten lines following PATTERN. However, this throws an "expected context address" with the sed that comes with OSX Lion. If that + is a GNUism, can I do this, or do I have to find another tool?

SYNOPSIS
aid [OPTION]... PATTERN...
DESCRIPTION
Query ID database and report results. By default, output consists of multiple lines, each line containing the matched identifier followed

-f, --file=FILE
file name of ID database

-l, --literal
match PATTERN as a literal string
-r, --regexp
match PATTERN as a regular expression
-w, --word
match PATTERN as a delimited word
-s, --substring

Note: If PATTERN contains extended regular expression metacharacters, it is interpreted as a regular expression substring. Other-
wise, PATTERN is interpreted as a literal word.

STYLE is one of `filenames', `grep', `edit' or `none'
-S, --separator=STYLE
STYLE is one of `braces', `space' or `newline' and only applies to file names when `--result=filenames'
The above STYLE options control how query results are presented. Defaults are --key=token --result=filenames --separator=space
