Array.prototype.replace

[Andrea Giammarchi]

just a few days ago another full stack JS dev mentioned Array replace and
it has nothing to do with what was proposed in here:
https://medium.com/@gajus/the-case-for-array-replace-cd9330707243

My TL;DR response was that once the pipe operator is in, everyone can bring
in its own meaning for `array |> replace` and call it a day.

Keep polluting the already most polluted prototype of them all doesn't look
like a good strategy to improve the language.

Just my 2 cents.
