feature for str_replace_all: vectorization of patterns and replacements

[mgacc0]

Would you consider to nativelly implement a capability of vectorization of patterns and replacements in str_replace_all by default?
Something equivalent to

str_replace_all_vec <- function(string, pattern, replacement) {
  tmp_string <- string
  for (i in seq_along(pattern)) {
    tmp_string <- str_replace_all(tmp_string, pattern[i], replacement[i])
  }
  tmp_string
}

to apply the replacements sequentially?

You can already do that by supplying a named vector to pattern 😄
