Subject: 24.4.50; REGRESSION: incompatible change to `replace-match-maybe-edit' (and no doc)

You added argument BACKWARD to this function, and you did not add it as
an &optional parameter.  This breaks all existing code that uses the
function.  The parameter should be &optional.

What's more, you did not even mention the new arg in the doc string.
