To work on:

• CharT *, CharT const *
• StringT &, StringT const &, preferably selecting on availability of member method used, or method to ensure we're given a string of one form or another.

Names:

• find over search: with find it is clear that found means success and not found means failure, with search, meh.
• trim vs. strip
• ...

Various:

• [ ] Enable use without exceptions.
• [ ] ...
