a plain "find substring" operation, with no characters in pattern

/**
Returns a formatted version of its variable number of arguments following
the description given in its first argument (which must be a string).
The format string follows the same rules as the printf family of standard C
functions. The only differences are that the options/modifiers
`*`, `l`, `L`, `n`, `p`, and `h` are not supported and that there is an
extra option, `q`. The `q` option formats a string in a form suitable to be
safely read back by the Lua interpreter: the string is written between
double quotes, and all double quotes, newlines, embedded zeros,
and backslashes in the string are correctly escaped when written.
For instance, the call
`string.format('%q', 'a string with "quotes" and \n new line')`
will produce the string:
`"a string with \"quotes\" and \
new line"`
The options `c`, `d` `E`, `e`, `f`, `g`, `G`, `i`, `o`, `u, `X-, and `x` all
expect a number as argument, whereas `q` and `s` expect a string.
This function does not accept string values containing embedded zeros,
except as arguments to the `q` option.
