22098225: Add indexOfObject:inSortedRange:options:usingComparator: method in Swift Array

[openradar-mirror]

Description

Although NSArray and NSOrderedSet have method indexOfObject:inSortedRange:options:usingComparator:, there is no such method in Swift Array.

By now there are two options to bypass this problem:

1. Implement your own binary search method. You can find more on this here http://stackoverflow.com/a/26679191/1722840.
2. Bridge Swift Array to NSArray and use Foundation method. Though such bridging may be slow (described here: http://swiftdoc.org/swift-2/type/Array/)

Considering all the available options it would be only natural to have such method in Swift.
