Interesting; according to the documentation for -mutableString, that 
shouldn't happen, since changes to it are supposed to be tracked by 
the attributed string.  Poking around in the debugger with a test 
project shows that [[NSMutableAttributedString mutableString] class] 
returns NSMutableStringProxyForMutableAttributedString, so presumably 
this is another toll-free bridging bug.

You can still operate on it with NSMutableString Obj-C methods, which 
would avoid the overhead of using [newStr string] in your code.
