I didn't know the answer, either. However, I do know about the Method 
Finder. (World Menu -> open... -> Method Finder). I opened that and in 
the top left pane, I typed

	'this is foo test'. 'foo'. 'bar'. 'this is bar test'

and hit enter. It found

	SequencableCollection>>copyReplaceAll:with:
	String>>copyReplaceAll:with:
	Text>>copyReplaceTokens:with:

So, 'this is foo test' copyReplaceAll: 'foo' with: 'bar' does what you 
want.
