I'd expect replace_at to be a character position or something, not an occurrence count.
I'll amend the name to: "replace_match"
I do now see that since the immediately preceding parameter, "start", deals with characters instead of matches that making it clear this parameter deals in matches in the name work. The singular 'match' has all the same benefits as 'at' plus this point of clarity.
