If I use C-x ESC ESC to repeat a command, the previously marked region
shows up as an argument.  For example:
(replace-string "foo" "bar" nil 675 779)

What if I want to repeat the replacement on the current highlighted
region, rather than from 675 to 779?

This used to work as desired in emacs 20.x, but it somehow changed in
21.x.

tia,
