* SUMMARY:  Regression test for bugs 83293, 103351
* See http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83293
*     http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103351
*     http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92942
*
*
* ********************   CORRECTION !!!  *****************************
*
* When I originally wrote this test, I thought this was true:
* str.replace(strA, strB) == str.replace(new RegExp(strA),strB).
* See ECMA-262 Final Draft, 15.5.4.11 String.prototype.replace
*
* However, in http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83293
* Jim Ley points out the ECMA-262 Final Edition changed on this.
* String.prototype.replace (searchValue, replaceValue), if provided
* a searchValue that is not a RegExp, is NO LONGER to replace it with
*
*                  new RegExp(searchValue)
* but rather:
*                  String(searchValue)
*
* This puts the replace() method at variance with search() and match(),
* which continue to follow the RegExp conversion of the Final Draft.
* It also makes most of this testcase, as originally written, invalid.

  * This example is from jim@jibbering.com (see Bugzilla bug 92942)
  * It is a variation on the example below.
  *
  * Namely, we are using the regexp /$/ instead of the regexp //.
  * The regexp /$/ means we should match the "empty string" at the 
  * end-boundary of the word, instead of the one at the beginning.
  *
  status = 'Section E of test';
  var strJim = 'aa$aa';

  expect = strJim.replace(new RegExp(strA), strB); // expect 'aa$aaZ'
  reportCompare(expect, actual, status);


  *
  * Note: 'Zabc' is the result we expect for 'abc'.replace('', 'Z').
  *
  * The string '' is supposed to be equivalent to new RegExp('') = //.
  * The regexp // means we should match the "empty string" conceived of
  * at the beginning boundary of the word, before the first character.
