Which issue does this PR close?
array_position
would fail if its input is an empty list.Rationale for this change
Empty list shouldn't be any different from any other list not containing the looked-for element.
What changes are included in this PR?
Fix the empty list case. Also document that return value is NULL if element is not found, and that the start-index is 1-based (since that was confusing me for a while).
Are these changes tested?
New SLT tests
Are there any user-facing changes?
Less crashing and more info in docs 😄
