How the result is calculated
$ in the replacement is an ordinary character; in regex mode the JavaScript flavour with the Unicode flag (u) is used with $1, $& and $<name> for named groups. “Whole word” wraps the pattern in Unicode letter/digit boundaries. The match count is taken before replacing.Limits:
The engine is JavaScript, so some PCRE and Python features (inline
