/**
Represents a string with some or all matches replaced by a replacement.

Use-case:
- `kebab-case-path` to `dotted.path.notation`
- Changing date/time format: `01-08-2042` → `01/08/2042`
- Manipulation of type properties, for example, removal of prefixes

@example
```
import type {Replace} from 'type-fest';

declare function replace<
	Input extends string,
	Search extends string,
	Replacement extends string,
>(
	input: Input,
	search: Search,
	replacement: Replacement
): Replace<Input, Search, Replacement>;

declare function replaceAll<
	Input extends string,
	Search extends string,
	Replacement extends string,
>(
	input: Input,
	search: Search,
	replacement: Replacement
): Replace<Input, Search, Replacement, {all: true}>;

// The return type is the exact string literal, not just `string`.

replace('hello ?', '?', '🦄');
//=> 'hello 🦄'

replace('hello ??', '?', '❓');
//=> 'hello ❓?'

replaceAll('10:42:00', ':', '-');
//=> '10-42-00'

replaceAll('__userName__', '__', '');
//=> 'userName'

replaceAll('My Cool Title', ' ', '');
//=> 'MyCoolTitle'
