Notes, discussions, links, feedback:

• One usecase could be character names in a novel manuscript, if one has named a character and want to now rename it to some other character names or swap it with another one.

Questions and answers go here:

• Q: This looks great, and was very well-presented.  Do you have plans to upstream this functionality into Emacs?
  • A: Would require some refactoring upstream, so not suitable for upstreaming as-is.
• Q: Did you use pair-programming while developing it, or did you work independently, alternating and reviewing?
  • A: Yes, we did! I was at the keyboard, Valentino was at the whiteboard, and we kept bouncing ideas back and forth, trying out prototypes, coming up with various tests, checking the edge cases, etc.
• Q: What is your background in programming? Was it difficult to implement following the same API and architecture as what is already in Emacs?
  • A: Both Valentino and I are PhD students in computer science, but a PhD or similar is definitely not a requirement. It wasn't too difficult because we could reuse the interactive functionality from query-replace's internals. Figuring out what and how to reuse is what took a bit of creativity, but a lot of the necessary knowledge for that came from just reading and poking around Emacs' replace.el. Don't be afraid to go and read the source!
• Q: What did you learn about Emacs programming or programming in general while working on this project?
  • A: That Emacs is so flexible that you can even advise its `message` function. Similarly, being able to prototype functionality so quickly and immediately integrate it into the rest of Emacs is so fun and so satisfying!
