I'd like it to be used
- everywhere MemBuf is used
- everywhere a char* is used for a string
- strtok, strchr, strstr, etc to be used in the HTTP parser

All of the above with increased efficiency both in terms callers' LOC
and performance.

Given:
KBuf src="GET http://some.url/ HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: some.url\r\n\r\n"
KBuf out;

The following are expected to be equivalent:
====
u_int32_t pos=src.index('\n');
out=src.substr(0,pos);
src=src.substr(pos,-1); //to end-of-string
====
out=src.consume(src.index('\n'));
====
out=src.nextToken('\n');
====
