Comment (by Joey Wilhelm):

 Yeah, I was debating the thought of creating some sort of `django-
 postgres-regex` package, for this and related functions. But if I could
 contribute it to core, why not, ya know?

 The implementation relatively easy; I based it off, I believe, Substr.

 {{{#!python
 from django.db.models import Func, Value


 class RegexpReplace(Func):
     function = 'REGEXP_REPLACE'

     def __init__(self, expression, pattern, replacement, **extra):
         if not hasattr(pattern, 'resolve_expression'):
             if not isinstance(pattern, str):
                 raise TypeError("'pattern' must be a string")
             pattern = Value(pattern)
         if not hasattr(replacement, 'resolve_expression'):
             if not isinstance(replacement, str):
                 raise TypeError("'replacement' must be a string")
             replacement = Value(replacement)
         expressions = [expression, pattern, replacement]
         super().__init__(*expressions, **extra)
 }}}
