There are some potentially dangerous use of how strings/dep-strings are constructed.  Should be armed with release grade assertions.

For consistency's sake with the previous two asserts, it seems like it'd be better to test:

  mEnd >= caret

which is the same thing, but more closely linked to the pointer subtraction you're actually doing, and it's the same test you've been doing prior to this point.
