I'm still a bit lost here. It's news to me that REPLACE being nil means
the entire buffer is erased first.
The bigger picture is that I don't know what insert-file-contents is
supposed to do in all these complicated circumstances. THat is the
various motivations behind insert-file-contents's complex argument
combinations don't fully make sense to me. So I'll step aside and let
someone more expert fix the doc string, whenever anybody has the time.
