Function: text.replace_all_regex

Replaces all matches of a regular expression with a new string.

In the case of overlapping matches, the leftmost instance is replaced and if multiple matches start at the same index, then the longest one is replaced. If the expression is empty, it matches at the beginning of the string and after each code point, yielding up to k+1 replacements for a string with k code points.

Note that regular expression backreferences are not supported and you can't refer to text previously matched by a capturing group.
