Title says it all really. I had to use an std::string in one place because
I needed to modify it quickly and with less hassle than using .replace() -
and Glib::ustring won't let me get a reference to perform such modification.

The documentation states
    "No reference return; use replace()
<https://developer.gnome.org/glibmm/stable/classGlib_1_1ustring.html#a0f0c9b5aaad58279d3ac87a86a173f4a>
to write characters."
but does not explain why, nor does the commit log: these comments were
added way back in the initial revision.

So I'm wondering whether there's really a reason for this, or if it is just
something that no one has wanted to change (until now!)
