I'd hardly call that an ideal solution >:( The point of rfind is to not
start the search from the start of the string.

I may reply to the rest, but let me destroy this quickly: this is the 
implementation for a forward range that's not bidirectional. The 
challenge is indeed implementing rfind for bidirectional ranges that are 
not random (e.g. strings).
