 *
 *  Returns a copy of <i>str</i> with the <em>all</em> occurrences of
 *  <i>pattern</i> substituted for the second argument. The <i>pattern</i> is
 *  typically a <code>Regexp</code>; if given as a <code>String</code>, any
 *  regular expression metacharacters it contains will be interpreted
 *  literally, e.g. <code>'\\\d'</code> will match a backlash followed by 'd',
 *  instead of a digit.
 *
 *  If <i>replacement</i> is a <code>String</code> it will be substituted for
 *  the matched text. It may contain back-references to the pattern's capture
 *  groups of the form <code>\\\d</code>, where <i>d</i> is a group number, or
 *  <code>\\\k<n></code>, where <i>n</i> is a group name. If it is a
 *  double-quoted string, both back-references must be preceded by an
 *  additional backslash. However, within <i>replacement</i> the special match
 *  variables, such as <code>&$</code>, will not refer to the current match.
 *
 *  If the second argument is a <code>Hash</code>, and the matched text is one
 *  of its keys, the corresponding value is the replacement string.
 *
 *  In the block form, the current match string is passed in as a parameter,
 *  and variables such as <code>$1</code>, <code>$2</code>, <code>$`</code>,
 *  <code>$&</code>, and <code>$'</code> will be set appropriately. The value
 *  returned by the block will be substituted for the match on each call.
 *
 *  The result inherits any tainting in the original string or any supplied
 *  replacement string.
 *
 *  When neither a block nor a second argument is supplied, an
 *  <code>Enumerator</code> is returned.
