Description

irregex-replace currently returns #f when nothing was replaced instead of the original string. This is slightly inconvenient as well as inconsistent with irregex-replace/all's behavior. Example:

 #;6> (irregex-replace "foo" "bar" "baz")
 #f
 #;7> (irregex-replace/all "foo" "bar" "baz")
 "bar"

Merged in irregex-bugfixes branch as 88690836207d7d4c9cc99654da8d071eaf1ba733

I've also added a change to types.db to reflect the fact that both replace procedures always return strings. This is changeset 9b4f78a1c698ac020954ba9821dea77d53498394.
