POS(<needle>,<haystack>,[<startpos>])
      returns a number

The result is the character position within the string <haystack> of the
the first occurrence of the string <needle> or 0 if a match isn't found.

If <startpos> is specified, then the search proceeds forward from that
position in <haystack>.

The search is case sensitive.

   Examples:
         say pos('eak','growing weaker and weaker')     >>> 10
         say pos('eak','growing weaker and weaker',11)  >>> 21
