It's up to you, but I still think that by a relatively simple and
backward-compatible change to the API of replace-region-contents we
could have a new mode of that function which would do what you wanted.
I still don't understand why you rejected that, the reasons you gave
sounded minor to me, certainly not important enough to throw in the
towel.
