Description

Reported by Petruchio on IRC:

``` (irregex-replace/all (irregex 'bol) "Line1\nLine2" "*") => "ine1\n*Line2" ```

Expected output is `"*Line1\n*Line2"`. If you use `bos` instead of `bol` the first character gets "eaten" as well.

Looks like the problem is in irregex-fold/fast, where it skips ahead on the empty match.
