back() and popBack() for narrow strings do reverse decode. --

I need reverse decode from any position, not only from the last.
I have coded a litle with stideBack allready, it works. But usage
isn't clear as could: first strideBack, then decode, and decode
move index forward, then I have to strideBack again :)
Perhaps i will wrap such algorithm in some function, but an other
side i will be forced to optimize that and write real decodeBack
function.
