`replace` does not support source maps

[benignant]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The replace preprocessor does not support source maps. I'm using it to replace multiple lines.

Describe the solution you'd like
Can the replace transformer use the magic-string replace method?

@dummdidumm @benignant does it means processors/replace.ts should have a method which takes file content, options and returns the new formatted content using magicstring.replace method?

[benignant]

I think the change would go in transformers/replace.ts.

[Rishab49]

@benignant But transformer/replace.ts is doing the same thing as magicstring.replace, then why do you want to change it?

[benignant]

The magic-string replace method maintains the source map.

@benignant Sorry but I can understand your exact requirement.Do you want to use replace method to generate a source map of a given script file using replace method?
