+Summary: Regex.Replace issue when replacement string contains backslashes
+
+The behaviour of the Monno Regex.Replace method does not match that of 
+MS.NET when the replacement string contains backslashes.
+
+To reproduce this issue, compile and run the following code:
+
+using System;
+using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
+
+public class EntryPoint {
+	public static void Main() {
+            Console.WriteLine(Regex.Replace(@"a", "a", @"\\"));
+	}
+}
+
+Actual Result:
+
+\ (single backslash)
+
+Expected Result:
+
+\\ (double backslash)
+
+This works fine on MS.NET, and fails on both Mono 1.0.5 Windows/Linux and 
+Mono SVN head (Windows/Linux) with both ICU enabled and disabled.
