Gerbrant.edit.multiReplace: Provides a way to replace the occurrences of a set of regular expressions with the return values of a set of handler functions.; Note that the group detector is really brain-dead, so if you want to match against the left and right parentheses, you'll want to use \u0028 and \u0029.

Constructor

function(): Constructs a multiReplace object.

Object members

add(p, h): Adds pattern string p, which will be replaced using handler function h.
handler(a): This function handles one replacement. First argument should be the total match, the rest the submatches, if any.
getRE(): Gets the combined regular expression.
replace(t): Performs the replacements on text t and returns the new text.
