In particular since sequential substitution (replace A with A', then B with B', 
...) is often very error-prone: it's order-sensitive, and sometimes there is no 
correct order at all.

People use chains of replace-regexp-in-string because it's simple and it's 
there but when a simultaneous replacement is called for then we should provide 
such a construct, not make it easier to do the wrong thing.
