I am using eglot which references a flymake copy from
https://github.com/emacs-straight/flymake.

The author of eglot told me to report the bug here, but I guess the
problem comes from eglot (which requires 26.1+) using a copy of flymake
which requires (28.1+).

I do not understand why emacs loads this copy of flymake without
signaling an error given the constraint in Package-Requires, or why is
eglot using a copy of flymake altogether, but these problems are
unrelated to string-replace.

Thank you for the information anyway!
