+ * The BinarySearch() algorithm searches the given container |aContainer| over
+ * the sorted index range [aBegin, aEnd) for an index |i| where
+ * |aContainer[i] == aTarget|.
+ * If such an index |i| is found, BinarySearch returns |true| and the index is
+ * returned via the outparam |aMatchOrInsertionPoint|. If no index is found,
+ * BinarySearch returns |false| and the outparam returns the first index in
+ * [aBegin, aEnd] where |aTarget| can be inserted to maintain sorted order.
+ *
+ * Example:
+ *
+ * Vector<int> sortedInts = ...
+ *
+ * size_t match;
+ * if (BinarySearch(sortedInts, 0, sortedInts.length(), 13, &match)) {
+ * printf("found 13 at %lu\n", match);
+ * }
+ *
+ * The BinarySearchIf() version behaves similarly, but takes |aComparator|, a
+ * functor to compare the values with, instead of a value to find.
+ * That functor should take one argument - the value to compare - and return an
+ * |int| with the comparison result:
+ *
+ * * 0, if the argument is equal to,
+ * * less than 0, if the argument is greater than,
+ * * greater than 0, if the argument is less than
+ *
+ * the value.
+ *
+ * Example:
+ *
+ * struct Comparator {
+ * int operator()(int aVal) const {
+ * if (mTarget < aVal) { return -1; }
+ * if (mTarget > aVal) { return 1; }
+ * return 0;
+ * }
+ * explicit Comparator(int aTarget) : mTarget(aTarget) {}
+ * const int mTarget;
+ * };
+ *
+ * Vector<int> sortedInts = ...
+ *
+ * size_t match;
+ * if (BinarySearchIf(sortedInts, 0, sortedInts.length(), Comparator(13),
+ * &match)) { printf("found 13 at %lu\n", match);
+ * }

+ * LowerBound(), UpperBound(), and EqualRange() are equivalent to

+ *
+ * LowerBound() returns an index pointing to the first element in the range
+ * in which each element is considered *not less than* the given value passed
+ * via |aCompare|, or the length of |aContainer| if no such element is found.
+ *
+ * UpperBound() returns an index pointing to the first element in the range
+ * in which each element is considered *greater than* the given value passed
+ * via |aCompare|, or the length of |aContainer| if no such element is found.
+ *
+ * EqualRange() returns a range [first, second) containing all elements are
+ * considered equivalent to the given value via |aCompare|. If you need
+ * either the first or last index of the range, LowerBound() or UpperBound(),
+ * which is slightly faster than EqualRange(), should suffice.
