  #  - the block returns false for any element whose index is less than
  #    i, and
  #  - the block returns true for any element whose index is greater

  #  In find-any mode (this behaves like libc's bsearch(3)), the block
  #  must return a number, and there must be two indices i and j
  #  (0 <= i <= j <= ary.size) so that:
  #
  #  - the block returns a positive number for ary[k] if 0 <= k < i,
  #  - the block returns zero for ary[k] if i <= k < j, and
  #  - the block returns a negative number for ary[k] if
  #    j <= k < ary.size.
