Well, then I don't think we should feel constrained by its existence
when choosing function names for Emacs core.  (Not that I think that
`regexp-replace' is a good name -- but it's just hard to come up with
something that's short, not awkward and hasn't already been taken.
`re-replace'?  `string-replace-re'?  `string-replace-regexp'?
`string-re'?  Naming is hard.)
