Description

String#index allows an optional offset:

"the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog".index("the")   #=> 0
"the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog".index("the",1) #=> 31

I was a bit surprised that Array doesn't support this and I feel it would be a very natural addition:

%w[the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog].index("the")   #=> 0
%w[the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog].index("the",1) #=> 6 instead of ArgumentError
