Would this be a generally useful addition?

This idea looks exciting!
It is especially useful when a given replacement is not unambiguous and depends on a contest. I don't like to mindlessly click "Replace All", so this dry-run preview could become my favorite tool.
I use a similar solution every day, but in a simplified form – through a plugin, but at least I can preview the results in the "Validation Results" window.
