I guess it may be a quite common procedure currently to:
1. issue a "find in files" (with extra "-l" grep-option to achieve a *lot* shorter list);
2. keep pressed the "next message" until all files (with the searched text in them) get opened;
3. issue a "replace all (in session, i.e. opened files)" command.

The 2. point is cumbersome, ugly, and maybe error-prone (is it guaranteed that no file will skipped? 
will it start from the first hit?).
