A while ago there was a suggestion here to [add splice to String](https://es.discourse.group/t/add-splice-to-string-prototype/2242), which didn't get much positive feedback, but would also allow replace at position -- and IMO that could help other use cases, especially for those scared of regexes -- for example replacing a chunk of text between two found substrings.
