Description Robert Flaherty 2007-04-05 08:32:27 UTC 
Per the documentation, the returned string should be the input string if any 
replacement occurs.  I haven't scanned all previous releases to see if this 
actually broke or was never implemented per the doc.  For now I string compare 
the input and result strings, but it is possible for them to be the same but 
have been replaced if the consumer obviously replaced with the match.
