RESULTING ARGUMENT: None

FUNCTION          : Replace a character string by another character string
                    as many times as specified, or as many times as the first
                    character string exists (whichever is smaller). Search
                    starts at the current position in the buffer. After
                    execution, the cursor (and implicitly the value of  . )
                    is positioned immediately after the last string replaced.

                    The modification character (delimiter) immediately
                    follows the command in the command sequence. This
                    character will be used instead of the ESC in the normal
                    replace command. This character is followed by the first
                    string, which is terminated by the modification
                    character. The second string follows, which is in turn
                    terminated by another identical modification character.

                    A negative argument forces backward search in the buffer.
                    In these cases, the cursor is positioned before the last
                    string replaced (counting backwards!).

                    If not all requested matches are found, an error is
                    raised.

ARGUMENT          : The number of times to perform the replace-action.

DEFAULT           : 1

EXAMPLE           : 7 @:r / hello ESC / world /
                    Will replace the string hello ESC by world seven
                    times.

NOTE 1            : Search-behaviour is governed by the Search Mode setting
                    (see CTRL_X)

NOTE 2            : If the first string is empty (as in @:r / / world /)
                    then the previous search string is reused.

NOTE 3            : The search string (used for both search and replace
                    commands) is accessable in register _ at all times.

NOTE 4            : The modification character is arbitrary. It must not
                    occur in either search- or replacement string.

NOTE 5            : The RETURN character is allowed anywhere in the search-
                    or replacement string.
