In typescript 'to' parameter was restricted to only string, but in general this works very well with RegExp as well. This is edited and used in one of my projects. This resolves #166 (Same person with different account)

Thanks for the PR, can you elaborate a bit more on how that would work, using a RegEx as a replacement? How does that work?

According to the documentation, https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/replace, the replace function only seems to accept a string or a function.

Can you give me a code example of how this would be used so I can test it out?
