That's true -- I often get string-match and match-string mixed up, so
perhaps we should have a different name for string-replace.

On the other hand, the reason string-match and match-string get mixed up
is that they are used in the same context.  replace-string and
string-replace are not.  So I'm not sure that pair is as bad as the
former pair.
