Here is a sketch.  I am calling it a sketch since the string-match for
\? should not be done for every replacement again if the replacement
string did not contain \? in the first place.  This is a performance
hog otherwise when doing lots of replacements automatically.

If people like it, maybe somebody will volunteer to make it more
efficient?
