You need to recalculate the begin/end offset info as well (the
toUppercase test works because the offset information was the same).
That's why I said if you can implement it in a generic way, it's
something I think we should definitely add to the API.  It'll make
life easier for anyone who wants to do this in the future.  I
know it is considerably more painful to do what you want in Java
than in a scripting language.  If you see a way of improving the
API to make it easire to apply arbitrary modifications to match
results before substitution, don't hesitate to make a suggestion.
