Re: Matches for multiline regexps

[Luc Teirlinck <teirllm@dms.auburn.edu>]

`query-replace' follows the `how-many' algorithm.  If you do not
replace the match on line one, it does not offer to replace the match
on line two in the same example buffer:

11
11
11
11
11

So it does seem that occur is the one with exceptional behavior.

Things should be unambiguous for regexps whose matches do not overlap.
Hpowever, in the _second_ example I gave where occur seemed at the
very least to contradict its own docstring, there were no overlapping
matches.

Sincerely,

Luc.
