[gedit-list] Will gEdit implement a "replace in selection" function?

When creating scripts that need to escape characters, such as
implementing HTML into PHP, you often have to 'find and replace'
double quotes and escape them as \". There is no method as of 2.19.90
to do so within a cursor selection. Is this feature in the works?

Ex:

---------------------------------------------
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
	"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd\";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en" >
	<head>
		<title></title>
	</head>
	<body>
	</body>
</html>
---------------------------------------------

AS:

---------------------------------------------
<?php

//code here

print("
//selection starts here
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN\"

\"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd\";>

<html xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\"; xml:lang=\"en\" >

<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
//selection ends here
");

//code here

?>
