IIUC, this small discussion ended with "it's too late to fix". Why did
you make the change, then?
"Too late" for emacs-24, which is in pretest stage.
And if it's okay to change the semantics, why not change it the other
way, relaxing `substring' requirements?
Why relaxing? IMO relaxing just means more error-prone code (imagine
an `aset' which silently ignores writing an element beyond array end,
or `aref' which always returns nil in that case).
Anyway, you can defsubst a tiny wrapper to relax if you need.
