when using replace-regexp with both expressions (ie \,) and simple
string replacements (ie \?), the expression replacement is evaluated
first, even if it comes after the \? replacement.

Example:

Replace regexp (default '.*?', *'.*' -> '\?', '\,(read-string "silly
expression")'):

the (read-string "silly expression") is evaluated before the first "\?".

I'm not sure this is a bug -- the doc string doesn't say anything about
the order these things are done in.  On the other hand, it doesn't seem
very useful to do the evaluation first.  If the evaluation could return
things like \&, then perhaps doing it first would be useful...
