NumberOfConsecutiveSubStrings()
Consecutive (adjacent) substrings, per the original monolith: for each length i in 1..floor(n/2), the string is tiled from each of the i phase offsets into i-char windows (phase-major order). Across all phases that yields every window of length i, so the count per length is n-i+1 and the total is Sum(n-i+1).

o1 = new stzString("phpringringringpythonrubyruby")
# their total number is Sum(29-i+1, i=1..14)
? o1.NumberOfConsecutiveSubStrings()
acAll = o1.ConsecutiveSubStrings()
# the list carries all 315 windows
? len(acAll)
# it starts with the single chars
? acAll[1] + acAll[2] + acAll[3]
# the length-2 windows follow, phase-major
? acAll[30] + "/" + acAll[31] + "/" + acAll[44]
# it ends with the last length-14 window
? acAll[315]
anPos = o1.FindConsecutiveSubStrings()
# the Find form reduces to 1..29
? len(anPos)
# ... starting at 1
? anPos[1]
# ... ending at 29
? anPos[29]Output

The extensions of this method
Each extension, and whether it exists for this method; an extension that exists combines with the others (FindSTCS).
Extension
Exists
What it adds · The names
Q
no
does what the method does, then returns the object, so the call can be chained
QQ
no
chains on the next, more specific type of object (the Q ladder)
QQQ
no
chains on the most specific type of object (the Q ladder)
QRT
no
returns the result as an object of the requested type
CS
no
takes a case-sensitivity flag
ST
no
takes the position to start from (StartingAt)
IB
no
takes bounds that are included (IncludingBounds)
XT
no
the extended form: more parameters than the base method
XTT
no
yet another extension: a further extended form, after XT
Z
no
includes the position in what it returns
ZZ
no
returns positions as sections, [start, end]
W
no
selects by a condition
WF
no
selects by a condition, with the expressive keywords (@NextItem, @PreviousItem...)
D
no
takes a direction, forward or backward (Directional)
F
no
takes a function (the condition or the update is given as a function); the forms document also uses F for the future form, which defers the action
Many
no
works on a collection of items instead of one (the plural form)
Except
no
takes exceptions, what to leave out (the exceptional form)
U
no
returns the result without duplication
