[Omake] String manipulation

[Jason Hickey]

Jared,

I'd like a "subst" function too--we need to add one.  In the  
meantime, there is more you can do.  In addition to using "match" as  
Aleksey suggested, there is also a function "lex-string" that might  
help.  Also, the function "open-in-string" can be used to create a  
channel from a string.

I have attached some code for a generic substitution function subst 
(<from-regex>, <replacement>, <string>).  Still no help with case- 
insensitive substitutions though:(
