Hi,

I have always wandering why STK does not provide folowing algorithms 
(std::string have them):

find_first_not_of - 2 versions
find_last_of - 2 versions
find_last_not_of - 2 versions

but only 2 versions of find_first_of. May be I just missing the way 
how to implement them in turms of some other algorithms? If not I 
think it could be valuable to fill this gap.

Gennadiy.
