2320	regexp replace only transforms the first occurence correctly	ply	andrew_b	"If the replacement string contains references to parenthesized substrings (\1, \2, ...), the first occurence is transformed correctly, but subsequent ones are replaced by the result from the first occurence. A comment at editcmd.c:1838 says

/* don't process string each time */

thus skips calling mc_search_prepare_replace_str more than once per search. This makes regexp replace fairly unusable.
