What's wrong with erase_tail_copy?

Don't like the idea with negative numbers becuse I can't see how code can use 
the functionality. Either you want the to use the positive version or the 
negative version and then it can be different functions. Combining it into the 
same function doubles the size and might affect inlining, optimization etc.

What about find_nth?
