Syntax:     REPL(str,oldstr, newstr[,cnt] [,start])

Defn:       A CI evaluator function that, in a given string (str),
            replaces cnt occurrences of oldstr with newstr,
            beginning at start.  If cnt is positive, replacement
            begins at the left end of str; if negative, replacement
            begins at the right end of str.  Default start is 1;
            default cnt is zero (meaning all occurrences).

Type:       String

Example:    repl('aaabcaab','aa','X')
Result:     'XabcXb'
Example:    repl('aaabcaab','ab','',-1)
Result:     'aaabca'
