Description
Currently, replaces-step is used only when replacing a single step with a single replacement step (it is what gets the step numbering of the replacement correct). We can support replacing with more than one step by treating the replacement steps as if they are nested a level deeper. So, for example, when replacing step 4 with 2 steps, we would number them 4.a and 4.b.
Current workaround is to use a single step that says "perform the following steps" with some sub-steps. That's not great.

Research direction
Start by tracing the existing replaces-step handling and the code that assigns step numbers. Check how current single-step replacements are tested, then support multiple replacement steps with nested numbering such as 4.a and 4.b and verify that the existing single-step behavior remains correct.
