class String

  # Replace the contents and taintedness of a string subsection
  # with the corresponding values in `other_string`.
  #
  # The params `start_target` and `stop_target` can each be 
  # a substring or pattern regexp.
  #
  # Examples:
  #
  #     "hello".replace_between("r", "e", "o") => "hero"
  #
  #     "hello".replace_between("r", /[eo]/, /[eo]/) => "hero"
  #
