Here and there in the elm source code are routines which copy a string
one byte at a time backwards, from its end up to some particular character,
and then use a function called reverse() to rectify the copy.

Why can't strrchar, or rindex, be used to find the character, and then a copy 
of the rest of the string would do the job?
