INDEX(<haystack>,<needle>, [<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 from that position in
<haystack>.

The search is case sensitive.

   Examples:
         say index('Tied to Godot?','dot');      >>> 11
         say index('Tied to Godot?','to');       >>> 6
