Over 100 bug fixes :yikes:

i got this email too. at first i thought the vibe and replace was a really weird and horrible idea.
im beginning to see a use case though like:

"update all the callsites of this function i just changed the props on"

it isn't always easy to write regex that makes non-trivial changes. im prepared to eat my hat on this one, i bet people will enjoy the feature.
