That "lengthy" is a challenge ... here is my attempt, which has the
same fourth parameter that gsub has. 'gfind' is an independently
useful iterator form of find, except that the default is plain: you need
to specify "false" as second argument to get a pattern.

gfind was the old name for gmatch (pre 2006).

There's enough confusion around this from 10 year old tutorials.

Please do not add fuel :)
