Example 2: 
 
names = {"fred", "rob", "rob", "george", "mary"} 
location = rfind("rob", names) 
-- location is set to 3 
location = rfind("rob", names, -4) 
-- location is set to 2

My appologies. Negative values are only sugar syntax in libs. But, i could be wrong again!

That's one of the things I've never used - probably because it violates the principle of "simple and easy to understand".

A more useful result - as far as I'm concerned - for the example above would be to return a sequence {3,4}. IOW, found "rob" at both positions 3 and 4, counting from the right.
