-=="string" find/findi "what"==
-returns offset to start of string
-Example:
-    "one two three" findi "TWO" , result is 4
-yes. well, big deal. what's NOT documented is when it can't be found for shite's sake
-answer = nil
-thus a fairly straightforward
- if ( (somestring findi "nothere") < 0) will fail, it's always there because it's NIL (jesus)
-(>=0 will work)
-note to self, some would-be language makers should read the perl cookbook which states fairly early on
-" we take some things to be self evident"
-==string @ idx==
-Example:
-    "Hello" @ 2 , result is "l"
-==string @ [from,to]==
-returns a substr
-Example:
-    "Hello world" @ [2,7] , result is llo w
-==str AnyThing==
-returns "whatever anything is"
-example:
- str _thing;
-==String strCmp String==
-returns standard c strcmp()
-case insensitive equivalent ==
-(tolower String) strCmp (tolower String)
-i've put brackets round this because in this language, the use of them is un-intuitive and NEVER self evident. Sometimes their use is contradictory
-if you need bullet proof, (everything) sigh
-note, case sensitive unfortunately
-==tolower==
-==toupper==
-tolower string;
-std c functions
-example
-	_val= "this" strcmp tolower"tHiS";
