As you are the developer, and a very able one, we must respect your decision.

I think this perspective though is likely to cause you support questions forever.

The way users think of it is replace all from here on down to the end, and if wrap is checked, continue back around to the start point.

A typical user may find a problem and fix it several times and discovering it is an ongoing problem, want to fix things from there on, as doing the action will cause unwanted alterations in the text prior.

There is no question that select mark text will do the job. It is more work for those who know about it, having to mark start and going down the end, then doing the action. The newbies will assume it will respect wrap, up/down and start points and make a gigantic mess.

This feature will need to be one of your canned responses, I fear. (See manual,.....)
