There is probably a workaround, which others will hopefully show. (I 
have to leave now. :) ) However, although not in your example, 
replaceInPlace would still copy if the result would not fit in the 
original char[]. Hm... Come to think of it, it cannot replace in place 
anyway, unless it knows that the slice is the only one looking at those 
characters. Otherwise, you would disturbing your other slices. (?)
