emacs started with -Q. Documentation of function (replace-string)
says:
In Transient Mark mode, if the mark is active, operate on the contents
of the region. Otherwise, operate from point to the end of the buffer.
However I can't make it work on a region and it always replaces
from the point up to the end of buffer. For example this call:
(replace-string "a" "x")
If I execute it through M-x, it works correctly, working only on the region.
