"Play from here" option when watching a replay

(This is based on the idea put forth in load game from replays, but hopefully more clearly stated.)
While watching a replay, it may occasionally happen that you realize you could've done something better. It would be nice to be able to pause the replay and start playing from there. Seeing as replays are deterministic (i.e. they store every key or mouse action, remember every RNG result, and reproduce the game state from that), simply switching from replay mode to playing mode should be fairly simple, right?
