No, LEFT and RIGHT says how much chars from the left/right side should be
returned. SUBSTRING says, from what position and how many chars to return. Some
simple functions follow:
left: func [str num][copy/part str num]
right: func [str num][copy skip tail str negate num]
substr: func [str num length][copy/part at str num length]
