I agree, although I'd prefer search_sorted() (always nitpicking...)
The name binarysearch() may indicate the restriction to sorted arrays
to anyone familiar with searching algorithms, but we can't expect all
users to be familiar with them. I am sure that if I cry out aloud
"what's a binary search" in our terminal room, I won't get a single
correct answer.

Konrad.
