I thought something such as `save-excursion' would do that, or that it
would be saved with the string, or something alike.

So is that the canonical way of doing? that feels like defeating the
purpose of `save-excursion' a little bit (I only wanted to produce a
result for this src-block), and as this is more complex behavior than
just “undoing backward” or anything part of core elisp, I feared
side-effects I wouldn’t be aware of: for instance tho, it means my
function will have the side-effects of moving all the markers (and maybe
other similar things) that were inside that portion of text: it feels
somewhat hardly like “restoring as before”.
