I want to do substring replacement so that a string like "Blah blah
%LIB%/%OBJ%" turns into "Blah blah SOMELIB/SOMEOBJ". That is, I want to
replace tokens like %LIB% with other strings of unknown/different lengths.
I could use %subst, but then I think I'd have to specify a length, so the
resulting string might look bad, like "Blah blah A         /B".
