I do not agree with that at all. It shows that a literal
search-and-replace changing N to count does not work, but it does not
show that count is a bad name for the concept, and I don't think it
is. I believe that if I were reading the documentation, count would be
clearer to me than N, N would probably still be clear enough, and
replace_at wouldn't be clear at all. I'd expect replace_at to be a
character position or something, not an occurrence count.
