Good point!
To replace parts of a string, I want to send a message to the string not to the
regex. So without doubt, string should understand such a messages. (I dont
know to which posting of Stan you're referring though).
Also, I would expect short message names for common operations. Alas none of
#copyWithRegex:matchesReplacedWith:
#asRegex + #copy:replacingMatchesWith:
#copyReplaceAll:with:
is particular short. And to make things words, none of these shows up when auto
completing #repl... because they all start with copy. Plus strings are nested
in such a deep hierarchy that reading all understood messages won't scale.
Personally, I would love to have a #gsub:with: on String. It is short and uses
established vocabulary.
