 Replying to [comment:5 Denis-de-Bernardy]:
 > Suggesting wontfix, personally. If memory serves, REPLACE INTO will
 change the ID of the original row.

 REPLACE will alter an auto-increment primary key *if* you use a different
 unique key to specify the row to replace.  Most of the time you're using
 the primary key though, in which case it stays.

 Even so, I'm not suggesting that we start using it all over the place,
 just that we add it to wpdb since I think it's something that's used
 pretty commonly.  It would just make wpdb more flexible with only 6
 additional lines of code.
