The usual objection to extending std::string is of course that the
interface is already *way* too big. Why not remove some parts instead?
(looking at find_last_not_of) :-)

Objection 2 is that this is something that can already be done in the
existing language. Adding more ways to do the same thing is also nothing
that C++ desperately needs.

Looking at the names, it is not immediately obvious how .first() is
related to .find_first_of(). Can this not cause confusion, similar to
clear() vs empty()?
