Describe the bug
Currently, str replace uses regex by default which might be surprising, e.g., on Windows in cases like 'C:\Users\kubouch' | str replace 'C:\Users' 'foo'.
How to reproduce
> 'C:\Users\kubouch' | str replace 'C:\Users' 'foo'
Error: nu::shell::unsupported_input (link)
× Unsupported input

Expected behavior
The solution is to use the --string flag but I think it should be the other way: String by default and regex with --regex flag
