#' Replace first occurrence of a matched pattern in a string.

#' Vectorised over \code{string}, \code{pattern} and \code{replacement}.
#' Shorter arguments will be expanded to length of longest.

#' @inheritParams str_detect
#' @param replacement replacement string.  References of the form \code{\1},
