So you can do this already with
`replace-regexp'! Writing my previous answer,
I had an itchy feeling it was already there
somewhere... But who would have thought to look
at replace-regexp of all places? Err, good that
you found it anyway :)

Technically speaking tho, and I think you
already know this, `M-h' isn't a prefix to the
next function but just a command to set the
region. Once there, replace-regexp acts on it,
but it doesn't matter in what manner you set it
prior to that.

Not to say there's anything wrong with using
M-h, of course.
