It doesn't change the behavior but the above might be easier to follow when
written like:

  if loc then
    return target[1..(loc - 1) ] &
           new &
           -- recursive call on remainder of string --
           replace( target[(loc + len)..length( target )], old, new )
  else
    return target
  end if
