Regex.replaceLiteral

Replaces all occurrences of the pattern in @regex with the replacement text. @replacement is replaced literally, to include backreferences use g_regex_replace().

Setting @start_position differs from just passing over a shortened string and setting #G_REGEX_MATCH_NOTBOL in the case of a pattern that begins with any kind of lookbehind assertion, such as "\b".
