This function must work with a *slice* of the first string parameter and

For example ...

  char[] ss;
  int pos;
  ss = "67";
  pos = find(s, ss);
  if (pos >= 0)
     sx = replaceSlice(s, s[pos..pos+ss.length], "xxxx")

would work.

The code for this function is also a poor example of DbC, in that it uses
an 'in' block to validate input data. So when the library is compiled in
release mode, coders who use the library do not benefit from the validation
check. Had the library not been compiled with -release, or the function use
the body block to validate input data, you *may* have seen an exception
occur. I say 'may', because the validation is not complete anyway, as
certain conditions can still get through it.

Thanks for the reply Derek, and for pointing out my mistake with a clear sample.
