BitchX scripting function $msar()

msar
Function
$msar()
Usage
$msar(c/search/replace/data)
Returns
the result of changing the search string to replace in the given data.
The command character c can be any combination of:
i to make the replacement case-insensitive;
r to treat data as the name of a variable and to operate on its value, storing the result back in the variable;
g to do all matches in the given data (global) and not just the first.

The delimiter can be / but can be any other character that is not a command letter (i r or g); obviously you must use the same delimiter in all three places.
Returns the empty string on error.
