  // Method: jQuery.fn.replaceText
  //
  // Replace text in specified elements. Note that only text content will be
  // modified, leaving all tags and attributes untouched. The new text can be
  // either text or HTML.
  //
  // Uses the String prototype replace method, full documentation on that method
  // can be found here:
  //
  // https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Core_JavaScript_1.5_Reference/Objects/String/Replace
  //
  // Usage:
  //
  // > jQuery('selector').replaceText( search, replace [, text_only ] );
  //
  // Arguments:
  //
  //  search - (RegExp|String) A RegExp object or substring to be replaced.
  //    Because the String prototype replace method is used internally, this
  //    argument should be specified accordingly.
  //  replace - (String|Function) The String that replaces the substring received
  //    from the search argument, or a function to be invoked to create the new
  //    substring. Because the String prototype replace method is used internally,
  //    this argument should be specified accordingly.
  //  text_only - (Boolean) If true, any HTML will be rendered as text. Defaults
  //    to false.
  //
  // Returns:
  //
  //  (jQuery) The initial jQuery collection of elements.

      var node = this.firstChild,

        // Elements to be removed at the end.
        remove = [];

      // Only continue if firstChild exists.
      if ( node ) {

        // Loop over all childNodes.
        do {

          // Only process text nodes.
          if ( node.nodeType === 3 ) {

            // The original node value.
            val = node.nodeValue;

            // The new value.
            new_val = val.replace( search, replace );

            // Only replace text if the new value is actually different!
            if ( new_val !== val ) {

              if ( !text_only && /</.test( new_val ) ) {
                // The new value contains HTML, set it in a slower but far more
                // robust way.
                $(node).before( new_val );

                // Don't remove the node yet, or the loop will lose its place.
                remove.push( node );
              } else {
                // The new value contains no HTML, so it can be set in this
                // very fast, simple way.
                node.nodeValue = new_val;
              }
            }
