Request: Suppress error "Non-convergent edit operation ReplaceAll" when included in a BeginGroupIfNoLineMatching.

[François LANGE.]

Good morning,

The error message has got a sense outside a group begin when the group avoid 
multiple execution of the replacement.

In the small sample the group avoid multiple executions of replace.

Can the code change to provide the warning but continue the execution.

This could be made with the following option:

1) An argument which could disable some warning like :
      Non-convergent edit operation
2) Remove the return false which is a little bit hard.

Thanks
Best regards François LANGE.
