needforspeed: use append+reverse for rsplit, use "bloom filters" to

speed up splitlines and strip with charsets; etc.  rsplit is now as
fast as split in all our tests (reverse takes no time at all), and
splitlines() is nearly as fast as a plain split("\n") in our tests.
and we're not done yet... ;-)
