We often need to replace a chunk of buffer text with something else.
It is easy enough to do with `insert` + `delete-region`, but that
has suboptimal behavior w.r.t markers, so rather than let coders
reinvent a slightly-better replacement I propose we add a dedicated
function for it.

So I suggest the patch below.  Comments?  Objections?
