[New-bugs-announce] [issue43015] Add str.replaceall?

[Nathaniel Manista]

New submission from Nathaniel Manista <nathaniel at google.com>:

Chained str.replace calls can sometimes be pretty unattractive; what are the chances that we could have an str.replaceall method? Of type Callable[[Mapping[str, str]], str]?

Check out absl::StrReplaceAll (https://github.com/abseil/abseil-cpp/blob/22771d471930ce88e1e75d0ca9dd8c65a7b0f895/absl/strings/str_replace.h#L73-L98) for a similarly useful function in C++.
