Neat!

However, it breaks the following nice (but perhaps not useful?) property:

    replace x y z == reverse (replace (reverse x) (reverse y) (reverse z))

Example:

    *SearchRepl> replace "ab" "ba" "aaaaaaaaab"
    "baaaaaaaaa"

    *SearchRepl> reverse (replace (reverse "ab") (reverse "ba") (reverse "aaaaaaaaab"))
    "aaaaaaaaba"

Is this a feature or bug?

Best regards
Tomasz
