Feature: Python API - Function to replace current selected text with replacement text #2567

Python AI feature request:

It is helpful to use a function which replaces current text selection with a replacement text. This is useful for code or text transformation tools, which will do the following:

  1. get the selected text via N10X.Editor.GetSelection()
  2. Transform the text
  3. Write it back

This functionality can be implemented in existing python API, but an optimal version in C++ is possible which will also keep things simple for script writers and make 10x even more powerful.

For now I'd recommend writing the function in python. If it ever becomes a speed issue let me know and I'll convert it into C++.
