So sounds like it can be done then?  This will be a nice addition and make
the regexp lib interface more uniform when someone gets around to it.

I just mean that (regexp-replace* #rx"foo" in "bar") can return bytes or

do not want to add a fourth param as you showed above.  But I like what you
have shown above as well.
