The current behavior is really surprising.

>>> "".replace("", "|")
'|'
>>> "".replace("", "|", -1)
'|'

vs

>>> "".replace("", "|", 0)
''
>>> "".replace("", "|", 1)
''
>>> "".replace("", "|", 1000)
''

I always expect "|".

This behavior makes sense to me:

>>> "abc".replace("", "|")
'|a|b|c|'
>>> "abc".replace("", "|", -1)
'|a|b|c|'
>>> "abc".replace("", "|", 0)
'abc'
>>> "abc".replace("", "|", 1)
'|abc'
>>> "abc".replace("", "|", 100)
'|a|b|c|'
