 * Replaces text in a string using a regular expression and replacement text.
 *
 * The argument "regex" is a pointer to a regex compiled with WeeChat function

 *
 * The argument "replace" can contain references to matches:
 *   $0 .. $99  match 0 to 99 (0 is whole match, 1 .. 99 are groups captured)
 *   $+         the last match (with highest number)
 *   $.*N       match N (can be '+' or 0 to 99), with all chars replaced by '*'
 *              (the char '*' can be replaced by any char between space (32)
 *              and '~' (126))
 *
 * Examples:
 *
 *    string   | regex         | replace   | result
 *   ----------+---------------+-----------+-------------
