[cl-ppcre-devel] empty line matches with cl-ppcre

Thank you -- indeed, it is fixed. It now produces:
  
  JWR-TEST> (cl-ppcre:regex-replace-all (cl-ppcre:create-scanner "(?m)^$") *str* "!")
  
  "1
  2
  3
  !
  4
  !"

I guess it is debatable whether the last "!" should be there. Perl
doesn't behave that way, but I guess it _is_ an empty line, now that I
think of it. And I wanted to get "!" instead of empty lines. So it
actually makes more sense than Perl.

Nice, thanks!
