Why can't ReplaceNode take a collection of nodes?

[bradwilson]

I have a fix operation which replaces a single statement with multiple statements. I would like to use SyntaxEditor.ReplaceNode(), but it can only replace a single node with a single node, so I end up writing insert then remove operations.

I understand this is only saving me one line of code 😄 but I'm curious why there is no overload for ReplaceNode that allows you to provide multiple SyntaxNodes.

How to ensure the relationship between these nodes? What happens if they are not continuous elements?

I am able to do the operation with a single insert, so it should do the exact same as that.

Because no one created such an API. We would need such an idea to go through the standard api proposal route. Thanks.
