`find` overloads

== Synopses

Declared in `<bslstl_string.h>`

Return the position of the _first_ occurrence of the specified `character`, if such an occurrence can be found in this string (on or _after_ the optionally specified `position` if such a `position` is specified), and return `npos` otherwise.

Return the starting position of the _first_ occurrence of the specified `substring`, if such a substring can be found in this string (on or _after_ the optionally specified `position` if such a `position` is specified) using `CHAR_TRAITS::eq` to compare characters, and return `npos` otherwise.

Same as the three‐argument `find` overload with `position` 0.

Return the starting position of the _first_ occurrence of the specified `substring`, if such a substring can be found in this string (on or _after_ the optionally specified `position` if such a `position` is specified) using `CHAR_TRAITS::eq` to compare characters, and return `npos` otherwise. The behavior is undefined unless the conversion from `STRING_VIEW_LIKE_TYPE` to `bsl::basic_string_view<CHAR_TYPE, CHAR_TRAITS>` does not throw any exception. Note that this behavior differs from the behavior implemented in the standard container, where the following noexcept specification is used: ` noexcept( std::is_nothrow_convertible_v<const T&, std::basic_string_view<CharT, Traits> >) `

Return the starting position of the _first_ occurrence of the specified `substring` of the optionally specified `numChars` length, if such a substring can be found in this string (on or _after_ the optionally specified `position` if such a `position` is specified) using `CHAR_TRAITS::eq` to compare characters, and return `npos` otherwise. If `numChars` is not specified, `CHAR_TRAITS::length(substring)` is used.
