In working on my Symposium presentation on the new stuff in 4.0.0, I
came across the examples of the new Translate parameters - pos, length.
At first, I thought this one - TRANSLATE("abcdef", , , , 2, 3) ->
"ABCDEF" - must be wrong as I expected the result to be "aBCDef" but
then realised that since both tables and pad were omitted, the default
"uppercasing" was done and the pos, length parameters were ignored. OK,
a bit surprising but so far, so good. Then I got to the second
example of the new parameters - TRANSLATE("4123", "abcd", "1234", , 2,
2) -> "1ab4" - and I'm really confused. Why isn't the result "4ab3",
i.e. only the second and third characters are translated?
