Not a direct answer to your question, but I wonder if you are aware of 
narrow-to-region?

3. C-x n n (narrow-to-region)
4. M-< (beginning-of-buffer, which now goes to the beginning of the narrowed 
region)
5. M-x replace-string C -> c
6. M-<
7. M-x replace-string B -> b
8. C-x n w (widen, undoes the narrowing)

narrow-to-region is disabled by default.  For good reason.  It's very unnerving 
if you invoke it by accident and don't understand what's happening, and 
suddenly most of your file is mysteriously gone (by appearance). 
But it's also extremely useful.
