The DIP lists the benefits but does not mention any cons.
A con that I can see is that it is violating the 'fail fast' principle. By
silently replacing data the developer will be presented with a
probably-hard-to-debug problem later down the application lifecyle (probably in
an unrelated area), wasting developer time.
On the other hand, if there's any place where people demand the highest
performance, it's string processing.
