The bindings specs as specified for the current Sql interface don't
require a tokeniser, that'd be overkill.
However, when checking the "magic" behind replace(), I find that it
is doing a lot of convoluted things, and doesn't seem to be using Boyer-Moore
or anything related.
It might make sense to revamp that logic to use a faster search algorithm
anyway, possibly even augmented with a regexp engine of mine that outperforms
PCRE.
I'll revisit this some other time.
