Subject: 25.0.50; doc of `replace-match-maybe-edit': MATCH-DATA
Date: Sat, 11 Apr 2015 09:39:01 -0700 (PDT)

Please describe parameter MATCH-DATA.

This is all that is said about MATCH-DATA now:

 MATCH-DATA is used for the replacement.
 In case editing is done, it is changed to use markers.

What does that mean?  It might say something about how the argument is
used (not really, not very clearly, at least), but it doesn't say what
the argument is - what it corresponds to.

The value of the argument is presumably some match-data.  But what
match-data, from where?  If you are calling this function, what
MATCH-DATA should you pass?

I've now amended the doc string to mention `match-data'.
