Hi,

The patch is attached. Please check and correct.

I deleted the following expression in
*sub-replace-expression* because the function has been lost
since Patch 7.2.437.

 Prepend a backslash to get a real <NL> character (which will be
 a NUL in the file).

I added the description that "\=" notation is valid in not only
:substitute command but also substitute() function.

I also added the description that submatch() is valid in not only
:substitute command but also substitute() function because the
code seems to work so. I'm not sure why :help submatch() insists
on "Only for an expression in a :substitute command". Since the
introduction of submatch() in eval.c (vim-6.0d or CVS revision 1.12),
it seems to have worked with the first level substitute() such like
the following.

let y = substitute("hello", '\l', '\=toupper(submatch(0)), "g")

Regards,

Motoya Kurotsu
