The problem is that the current system allows insertions of placeholders
which are later replaced by values. After applying this patch this will no
longer work. But with some changes we might get almost the same result.

After the p = next_insert(...) p-newcopy characters are already clean. This
should be used. I just noticed that there is a ugly hack in there anyway,
namely the string length calculation via substraction of two pointers. I
wonder if this works with multibyte strings.
