Edit previously sent Skype message RegEx-style

You can Control-click and select Edit Message from the contextual menu on any previously sent message in Skype to edit its content. What I discovered by accident is that you can type s/old/new/ in the text field and submit to have Skype edit your last-sent message accordingly. Regular expressions are not officially supported, but nevertheless it's pretty convenient.

Note that this does not work in Skype on Windows.
