All right, I think this brings us back to the original idea: we add lazy
highlight to query-replace now and decide later about the other commands
in replace.el.

I've attached an updated patch that applies over the already merged
changes.

Juri: you mentioned the idea of adding a new option
`query-replace-read-lazy-highlight'.  This is easier to add then remove
in the future, so my suggestion would be to first wait and see if anyone
actually needs that option.  For now lazy highlight when reading the
query-replace args is controlled by the good old
`query-replace-lazy-highlight'.
