No.
The current code on master is a bit of a mess. There's nothing wrong
with using a positive BEG on a seekable and non-regular file, for
example; the old doc string was wrong and now the code has been changed
to match the doc string unfortunately. Nor is there anything wrong if
BEG is 0 on a non-seekable file (though this latter issue is
longstanding and so I guess nobody cares).
There are surely some gotchas involving the REPLACE arg of
insert-file-contents too, but it's hard to tell because the doc string
seems to be corrupted for the case where REPLACE is 'if-regular' and I
don't know what it's trying to say.
