For example, if current directory has following structure:

foo.txt

my_foo_files\second.py
my_foo_files\foo.py

invoking repl_in_paths('foo', 'bar', '.'): will process it as follows:

bar.txt
README.txt
my_bar_files\first.py
my_bar_files\second.py
my_bar_files\bar.py

repl_in_files (text, repl, top_dir=’.’)
