    If you use a function as the replace argument, the function will still receive a ``re.MatchObject`` like object as the parameter,
    ``group(0)`` will therefore always contain the string searched for (possibly in a different case if ``re.IGNORECASE`` was passed in the flags)

    The replace function provided to editor.rereplace should not invoke additional calls to editor.rereplace or other replacement functions
    that modify the same text being processed. Doing so may result in unpredictable behavior.

    ``flags`` are from the re module (e.g. ``re.IGNORECASE``), so ``import re`` if you use the flags.
