Get & Set Subscript (String & Substring) - Swift 4.2
Swift 4.2, Xcode 10
I based my answer off of @alecarlson's answer.
The only big difference is you can get a Substring or a String returned (and in some cases, a single Character). You can also get and set the subscript.
Lastly, mine is a bit more cumbersome and longer than @alecarlson's answer and as such, I suggest you put it in a source file.
Extension:

return self[index(startIndex, offsetBy: i)]

let n = index(startIndex, offsetBy: i)
replaceSubrange(n...n, with: "\(c)")
}

let start = index(startIndex, offsetBy: bounds.lowerBound)
let end = index(startIndex, offsetBy: bounds.upperBound)
