title: Can I pass a list of strings as "old" in str.replace(old, new[, count])?
body: <p>I am cleaning a lot of data and calling replace() for every string/character that I want to replace is not difficult but I want to know if it can be done this way.</p>
  <p>What I am thinking is:</p>
  <pre><code>to_be_replaced = ['\n' , '\t' , '&quot;']
  str.replace(to_be_replaced, '')
  </code></pre>
  <p>Would this work?</p>
