  // original by: Kevin van Zonneveld (https://kvz.io)
  //      note 1: Replaces every occurrence of target in str, similar to Swift replacingOccurrences(of:with:options:).
  //   example 1: replacingOccurrences('hello world', 'l', 'L')
  //   returns 1: 'heLLo worLd'
  //   example 2: replacingOccurrences('Swift swift SWIFT', 'swift', 'ts', true)
  //   returns 2: 'ts ts ts'
  //   example 3: replacingOccurrences('abcabc', 'ab', '#')
  //   returns 3: '#c#c'
