That node is about destructively modifying strings.
replace-regexp-in-string doesn't modify anything -- it returns a new
string.

But it's odd that there's no mention of replace-regexp-in-string (and
string-replace) in the Strings section, so I've now added a reference
from the Creating Strings node.
