Thanks for that totally uncalled for insult. Of course, any bug can be
removed by changing your expectations on how a program should behave
to the way a program actually behaves. "It's not a bug that something
crashes, it is suppose to crash, and how do I know that? Well, I tried
and it crashed!." Usually, if something behaves in an unexpected way I
think it is a bug unless there is a good reason why the current
behaviour makes more sense than what I expected. I was kind of hoping
that someone would give me the good reason why there should be two
different behaviours.

So once again, what is the good reason that (query-replace "\n" "#")
behave differenty than calling the same function with its keybinding
and providing it interactively with the same arguments?
