*** When used interactively, the commands `query-replace-regexp' and
`replace-regexp' allow \,expr to be used in a replacement string,
where expr is an arbitrary Lisp expression evaluated at replacement
-time. In many cases, this will be more convenient than using
-`query-replace-regexp-eval'. `\#' in a replacement string now refers
-to the count of replacements already made by the replacement command.
-All regular expression replacement commands now allow `\?' in the
-replacement string to specify a position where the replacement string
-can be edited for each replacement.
