Of course, to make it yet a bit easier, we should provide an "ireplace" mode (where the replacement is shown incrementally as the user types the replacement spec). > Thanks, but we already have a request in the bug database with a set > of different patches to implement it: http://debbugs.gnu.org/6227 > There is no decision yet what is the best of them.
