As is usual, we will need a fully automatic version of search and
replace, and one that goes through the instances one at a time,
allowing the editor to decide individually which to change. We don't,
for example, want to have a glossary item for one term to be changed
to the other that the entry is meant to refer to. Otherwise you get

Recursion, see Recursion.

when you don't mean the joke.
