Actually, no. There's a rule against overwriting an entire
string-valued series. Maybe that could be relaxed, but also it might
be nice to have a recode() function that would achieve that with
proper error-checking (the target series won't get broken). The
arguments would be a pointer-to-series and an array of strings in the
desired order.
