I don't think that anybody would want to type in a lambda at the prompt
but instead would simply create his own command using
replace-region-contents.
But I could see a use-case if REPLACE-FN could also just be a string or
buffer instead of a function returning a string or a buffer. In that
case, it could be used interactively like replace-buffer-contents but
you could omit narrowing yourself. And a string wouldn't be interpreted
as a buffer name but literally which would be handy in the case where
you have the replacement already in your kill-ring. However, the
interactive spec "B" makes it hard to enter a literal string because
space is bound to word completion...
Well, I guess that's not reason enough to make it interactive...
