[New-bugs-announce] [issue5416] str.replace does strange things when given a negative count

[David Majnemer]

New submission from David Majnemer <david.majnemer at gmail.com>:

str.replace("", "", "asdf", -1) returns "asdf", I believe this is not
correct and strictly speaking not up to the documentation posted. I am
of the opinion that it should function like str.replace("", "", "asdf",
0) which returns ""
