OK
    >> perform-replace:
    >> 
    >> Non-nil REGION-NONCONTIGUOUS-P means that the region is composed of
    >> noncontiguous pieces.  The most common example of this is a
    >> rectangular region, where the pieces are separated by newline

    Drew> That too is missing from Emacs 26.3.

OK

    Drew> If you feel that this bug is completely fixed in
    Drew> Emacs 27, please close it as "fixed".  Thx.
