SYNOPSIS
int member(mixed *array, mixed elem [, int start])
int member(string s, int elem [, int start])
int member(mapping m, mixed key)

DESCRIPTION
For arrays and strings, returns the index of the first
occurance of second arg in the first arg, or -1 if none found.
If <start> is given and non-negative, the search starts at
that position. A start position beyond the end of the string
or array will cause the efun to return -1.

For mappings it checks, if key is present in mapping m and
returns 1 if so, 0 if key is not in m.

HISTORY
LDMud 3.3.556 added the <start> parameter.
