> {{replace("abc", ".*", "x")}} returns {{"xx"}} because it uses Java's
> Matcher.replaceAll - it's one match for the whole of "abc" (it's a greedy
> pattern) and one match for the trailing empty string. Java returns {{"x"}}
> for an empty string, and {{"xx"}} for any non-empty string in place of "abc".
> F&O calls out this case and makes it an error.

> An error is raised \[err:FORX0003\] if the pattern matches a zero-length
> string, that is, if the expression fn:matches("", $pattern, $flags) returns
> true. It is not an error, however, if a captured substring is zero-length.
