Replaces all occurrences of the pattern in regex with the
replacement text. Backreferences of the form '\number' or
'\g<number>' in the replacement text are interpolated by the
number-th captured subexpression of the match, '\g<name>' refers
to the captured subexpression with the given name. '\0' refers
to the complete match, but '\0' followed by a number is the octal
representation of a character. To include a literal '\' in the
replacement, write '\\\\'.
There are also escapes that changes the case of the following text:
Setting start_position differs from just passing over a shortened
string and setting G_REGEX_MATCH_NOTBOL in the case of a pattern that
begins with any kind of lookbehind assertion, such as "\b".

If you do not need to use backreferences use glib.regex.Regex.replaceLiteral.
The replacement string must be UTF-8 encoded even if G_REGEX_RAW was passed to glib.regex.Regex.new_. If you want to use not UTF-8 encoded strings you can use glib.regex.Regex.replaceLiteral.
