Proliferating unrelated functions is a complexity of its own.  Occur
already does this kind of thing; that's where I would look for this
functionality.  Sure, you can add the function, but unless you can
document it for other users in a discoverable way, you should add it
to your init file, not to Emacs. ;-)

Uh, what "replace" functionality does "collect-string" provide?
