I have to wonder the same thing. It's just not anything like anything I've ever called it before I guess. I guess I started with find, and then it refers you to retro if you want to reverse find, and of course, by this time I'm nowhere near std.string anymore. Hard to find something if you're not even looking in the same file :/
But "strchr" is a good name? If I wanted the index of a character in a string I would most likely look for something called "indexOf", or "index". In Java and C# it's called "indexOf", in Ruby it's called "index". In Python it's called "index" (and "find"). In PHP it's called "strrpos" and in C++ it's called "find". I think we're in pretty good shape here with D.
