Thanks for looking at the last patch, I appreciate! The situation you've
mention is an interesting edge case. If I understand correctly, the
first example is the result of some operations leading to filling gaps
between 0 and "ahoj". In the second case there is no such gap that's why
nothing was "filled in", although one could expect presence of a "start
position" and fill with nulls everything from it to the new element, is
that what you mean?
