Subject: 26.2; `dired-do-query-replace-regexp': How to replace only
 word-delimited matches?
Date: Sat, 20 Apr 2019 20:20:23 -0700 (PDT)

`dired-do-query-replace-regexp' has taken the key binding of
`dired-do-find-regexp-and-replace'.  I was expecting that it would do
all that the latter does plus more.

How does a user use `dired-do-query-replace-regexp' to replace only
word-delimited matches?

If this isn't currently possible, please make is so.  Thx.
