I realized that the default binding `C-c *` works only on the current line,
not the whole selection (and the same applies to the opposite `C-c -`).

It would be great to have those commands work over a region too.

But in the meanwhile, you can do either of the below:

- Simply select the region and use `query-replace-regexp`.
- Use a combination of keyboard macros and `C-c *`.
- Use `multiple-cursors`.
- Any other multiple editing method you might prefer.
