The `replace()` function replaces the given regular expression or plain
string pattern on the given subject value with the specified replacement.
In case a regular expression with the global (`g`) modifier set or a
string is passed as pattern, all found occurrences are replaced. In case
a regular expression without global modifier is given, only the first
match will be replaced.
The replacement value may be either a string, which is inserted in place
of the matched result after certain interpolation steps or a function
which is invoked for each match and whose return value is used as
replacement.
The subject is implicitly converted to a string if it is not a string.
The pattern is implicitly converted to a string if it is neither a string
nor a regular expression value.
The replacement value is implicitly converted to a string if it is neither
a string nor a function value.
Returns a copy of the input string with the match(es) replaced by their
corresponding replacement values.
Returns `null` either the subject, the pattern or the replacement value
is `null`.
