$setmulti(foo,Electronic; Jungle; Bardcore)
$replacemulti(%foo%,Bardcore,Hardcore)      ==>  "Electronic; Jungle; Hardcore"

$setmulti(foo,One; Two; Three)
$replacemulti(%foo%,Four,Five)              ==>  "One; Two; Three"

$setmulti(foo,Four; Five; Six)
$replacemulti(%foo%,Five,)                  ==>  "Four; Six"
