The function was written (not by me), and the patch was made to 2.0.44,
I believe.
When 2.0.45 came out WITHOUT the Replace function, I made the change
to 2.0.45, using the 2.0.44 patch as a road-map (it was actually very
easy to add).
However, I distinctly got the impression that Chuck didn't want to add
this function to fvwm, and I was told that the patch interfered with
other people's patches (ones that add new functions to fvwm). So, I
reluctantly gave up on the patch, and it no longer is in my running
version of fvwm2.0.45.
Despite all this, I miss having the function.
