characters, but replaced.) Maybe this behaviour is intended, and the document
should be corrected?

2.
The std.uri module internally allocates temporary buffers by alloca() on stack.
But this causes a problem when one deals with large strings:

import std.uri;
void main() {
char[] str = new char[10000000]; // about 10MB
str[] = 'A';
encodeComponent(str);
}

This example halts on "Error: Stack Overflow" on my WinXP+dmd 1.42 environment.
All allocas in this module should be rewritten to heap allocation, i think. Or
at least, this limitation should be noted in the document.

I think the doc is wrong here. I'll fix it.
