Especially INSTRING is hard to parse in:

 -- Function: string-replace fromstring tostring instring

     in INSTRING and returns the result.  It may return one of its
     arguments unchanged, a constant string or a new string.  Case is
     significant, and text properties are ignored.

 -- Function: perform-replace from-string replacements query-flag
          regexp-flag delimited-flag &optional repeat-count map start
          end backward region-noncontiguous-p
