This makes it unuseable for algorithms:
   find (myRCString, "hello"); //Nope
Also, adding "save" to make it forward might not be a good 
idea, since it would also mean it becomes an RA range (which 
it isn't).

No, RA is not implied by forward.

Right, but RCString already has the RA primitives (and 
hasLength), it's only missing ForwardRange traits to *also* 
become RandomAccess.
