Sigh; my mangler edited not only the header, but also the body of the
message. Initially, I did not notice this, and built my reply to you
based on wrong assumption.
So sorry, I do not know why your name was not in weed list - assuming
you asked me before...

Correct. My apologies.

Maybe; but such is hard to predict when posting.

Did I?

How about rereading what I wrote above? "To make it useful, one needs
a function to count the number of parentheses in a given regular
expression. Is there?"
Given this, C-M-% (or whatever is the key in default Emacs bindings)
could just accept multiple pairs REGEXP + REPLACEMENT (separated,
e.g., by C-u RET).
Hope this helps,
Ilya
