Ok.
Is it worth defining our own function
replaceOnly("\\octave", ...)
which does
re.sub("\\octave[?a-z,A-Z]", ...)
or whatever the regex was?
I imagine that almost every convert-ly rule would benefit from
"match this command, and only this command" rules, so this could
save typing. And, more to the point, confusion amongst
non-regex-savvy people.
Cheers,
