Sounds good - but having both the third and fourth arguments feel
counter-intuitive to me. It certainly seems relatively hard to explain
to newbies...
Can anyone come up with a good example when you'd want to use both these
parameters at the same time?
Otherwise, I'd rather see two different functions, one using a character
offset (as in current index/rindex) and once counting occurrences.
