Did this really ever work like this?  Because, you said you want to
alter the given data.  If you pass the function a string, and you really
want to alter that string, you can't just call `upcase' because that
returns a new string.  You would have to write a function that alters
the string itself.  You could also return a new string, but then there
is no need for `gv-ref'.
