             nThis:


According to Ecma-262 15.5.4.11, if replaceValue is a string, then $& should be
replaced with the matched substring, $` with everything preceding the matched
substring, and $' with everything following the matched substring. For example,

"abcdefg".replace(/d(e)/, "[$&]") == "abc[de]fg" (currently achievable using
$0)
"abcdefg".replace(/d(e)/, "[$`]") == "abc[abc]fg"
"abcdefg".replace(/d(e)/, "[$']") == "abc[fg]fg"
