   The result for the example you give should be 
   ```py
   >>> psser.replace(to_replace=r'^ba.$', value='new', regex=True)
   0     new
   1     foo
   2    bait  # bait is not replaced since it doesn't pattern match `'^ba.$'`
   3     abc
   4     new
   5     zoo
   dtype: object
   ```
   
   The existing example in the PR `psser.replace('ba', 'xx', regex=True)` is to show even `ba` partially match `bait`, the replacement `xx` is applied to the whole string `bait`, i.e. `bait` is replaced to `xx`.
