Just a clarification on the rules: are there restrictions on the nature of the
"find" and "replace" substrings to avoid infinite substitutions?  For example,
applying a substituion "a" -> "ab" would lead to an infinite substitution if
the string contained "a".  I assume this input is disallowed, but I wanted to
make sure.  Is that right?

It won't be covered in the book. The source code has to be useful for
something, after all... :-)
