I sympathise with the impulse, because `replace-regexp-in-string' is
probably the most awkward of the commonly used function names, in my
extremely, super-duper, incredibly humble opinion (nobody has humbler
opinions than I do, everybody knows that).

But I don't think the churn would be worth it.  (And shouldn't it be
`re-replace'?  `regexp-replace-string'?  Let the bikeshedding commence!)
