I sent a PM to the OP with (more or less) this, which I made for my own
use some time ago. (I did not want to send that code to the list -- it
is not really polished at all.) If there is any interest, I might try
to improve and/or rewrite and publish it.
Basically, it is a mode and a function (modeled on Isearch) which, given
a list whose elements are lists with a regex as the car and a list of
possible replacements as the cdr, walk through the buffer, finding
subsequent matches for any of these regexen and allowing to cycle
through the given possible replacements with TAB. It's not very well
written - I wrote it several years ago, when my Elisp-fu was weaker -
but works.
Best,
