According to a proposal of @nalimilan in #25396 .
If the replacement pattern is a function, it should be a function of Char, if the pattern is a Char, a collection of Chars, or a predicate function (which acts on a single Char), and a function of the matched substring otherwise.

Rather than sizeof, better use typeof.

Why not str[first(r)]?

is a function, each occurrence is replaced with `r(s)` where `s` is the matched substring.
If `pat` is a `Char`, a collection of `Char` or a predicate function and `r`

Instead of repeating the full sentence, maybe just change where `s` is the matched substring. to where `x` is the matched substring (when `pat` is a `Regex` or `AbstractString`) or character (when `pat` is a `Char` or a collection of `Char`).?

This is a breaking change, yes? I can't think of any way to do a better deprecation process. Should be listed under breaking changes in the NEWS.

This isn't clear about what the change was. Maybe:

`replace(s::AbstractString, pat=>repl)` for function `repl` arguments formerly passed a substring
to `repl` in all cases.  It now passes substrings for string patterns `pat`, but a `Char`
for character patterns (when `pat` is a `Char`, collection of `Char`, or a character predicate).

Seems easier to just say now calls repl(c) for each matched character c::Char, instead of a substring as it did previously. No need to define pos, and it would be clearer to say what the old behavior was.

Looks okay to merge.

We might want to implement a faster replace(str::String, pat_repl::Pair{Function}) method that just loops over the characters in str, but that can be done in a later PR.
