To me, your original string processing *was* the brute force method.
This... to me feels like copy-pasting code. And the more different
d_shift values you have to support, the worse this becomes.

I do suspect this *might* be the best-performing approach. Even if it
is, I don't think the performance gains are worth the verbosification
(and calcification) of the code.
