Surely any string compatible stuff should use

std::basic_string <char>::size_type size_type

for std:: consistency at least.

Which answers any questions on the current string algorithm review.

(And in general, my experience  -I never ignore signed/unsigned mismatch
warnings - suggests that using unsigned for the never negative is the Right
Thing To Do. But it is tiresome at first.)
