I don't want to discard them in general, I just thought they are not necessary here. To my experience, the replacement process is slowed down by a factor of ~5 with regular expressions, which might be important to the OP who "would like it to be fast", e.g. if he has many files to import - regardless of how much faster a binary import would be.
