Cannot split a chunk that has already been edited about magic-string HOT 2 OPEN

Here's an reproduction:

import MagicString from 'magic-string'

const s = new MagicString('from foo')

s.replace(/from foo/g, 'bar')
s.replace(/foo/g, 'baz')

// Cannot split a chunk that has already been edited (0:5 – "from foo")

I wouldn't expect the second .replace call to match as the replacement has already been made.

from magic-string.

It will always match against the original string

This is by design (or limitation), since you can't calculate the offset of the replaced string. The solution I can think about is to avoid cascading replace on MagicString but inside the replacer function.
