"\redraw" implies overdrawing, and the others don't carry a "visual"
connotation. True, neither does \omit.
Apart from "replace" being more likely to collide with other uses, the
order of arguments would favor substitute as its grammar can be
substitute xxx for yyy
compared to
replace xxx with yyy
and the usage would list the replacement first. \retouch is not really
a two-object verb, so while it does describe the action nicely, its
usage is not as natural.
