Sets (replaces) a line-range in the buffer.

Indexing is zero-based, end-exclusive. Negative indices are interpreted as length+1+index: -1 refers to the index past the end. So to change or delete the last element use start=-2 and end=-1.

To insert lines at a given index, set start and end to the same index. To delete a range of lines, set replacement to an empty array.

Out-of-bounds indices are clamped to the nearest valid value, unless strict_indexing is set.

Attributes: not allowed when textlock is active

Parameters:

• {buffer} Buffer handle, or 0 for current buffer
• {start} First line index
• {end} Last line index, exclusive
• {strict_indexing} Whether out-of-bounds should be an error.
• {replacement} Array of lines to use as replacement
