Arguments

:: Text	Substring to search for (`needle`)
-> Text	Text to search in (`haystack`)
-> [Int]

O(n+m) Find the offsets of all non-overlapping indices of needle within haystack. The offsets returned represent uncorrected indices in the low-level "needle" array, to which its offset must be added.

In (unlikely) bad cases, this algorithm's complexity degrades towards O(n*m).
