That may very well prove to be an important advantage. 
 
On the other hand, if you accept replacing them one at a time you 
could put the characters to be replaced in a table.  An advantage to 
that would be that adding or subtracting from the set of characters 
would be a simple INSERT or DELETE transaction.  When nesting changes 
to the list requires coding changes. 
 
So, as so often is the case, It Depends.
