Replaces all occurrences of the pattern in @regex with the
replacement text. Backreferences of the form '\number' or
'\g<number>' in the replacement text are interpolated by the
number-th captured subexpression of the match, '\g<name>' refers
to the captured subexpression with the given name. '\0' refers
to the complete match, but '\0' followed by a number is the octal
representation of a character. To include a literal '\' in the
replacement, write '\\'.
There are also escapes that changes the case of the following text:
- \l: Convert to lower case the next character
- \u: Convert to upper case the next character
- \L: Convert to lower case till \E
- \U: Convert to upper case till \E
- \E: End case modification
If you do not need to use backreferences use g_regex_replace_literal().
The @replacement string must be UTF-8 encoded even if #G_REGEX_RAW was
passed to g_regex_new(). If you want to use not UTF-8 encoded stings
you can use g_regex_replace_literal().
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".
