Sorry, I stopped reading at "\\(\\`\\|[^\\]\\)\\(\\\\\\\\\\)*\\\\\\?"
in the fourth line of the relevant paragraph:
,------
| And then it should be done _after_ the question
| "replace woozle with heffalump\? (y/n)?" has been answered positively,
| by using a while loop that removes the first proper \? in the string
| (using the "\\(\\`\\|[^\\]\\)\\(\\\\\\\\\\)*\\\\\\?" pattern)
| and calls the replacement string editor with the cursor at the specified
| location, until there is no longer an unescaped \?. After that, the
| replacement can be performed.

Nothing wrong -- Your idea is excellent.
