Subject: String substitution without RegEx

I wanted to do a simple string substitution, and was surprised to see
that there isn't such a method in ruby. I can't use String::(g)sub,
because the substitution mustn't be influenced by special chars or
backreferences in the pattern and replacement strings. Of course I could
write functions to escape regex special chars in the pattern and
backreferences in the replacement string, but this is about the ugliest
solution I can think of.
