I've needed this recently, too.
End result: I wrote an "Attoparsec.Parser Text", and ran the text through
that.
A regex would have been much nicer...

People have put a lot of work into regular expression libraries on haskell. Yet it seems very few of them provide a replace/substitute function - just regex-compat and regepr as far as I know. Why is that ? #haskell says:
<sclv> iirc its because that's a really mutatey operation in the underlying c libs <sclv> should be simple enough to write a general purpose wrapper layer that uses captures to create the effect
Secondly, as of today what do y'all do when you need that functionality ?
