If I were writing it (and I'm sure I have at some point) I'd have
Array.find
return the element, but I'd also have an Array.findi that returned
the element and it's index (and just define Array.find  as snd
(Array.findi ...) ).

I'd have them return arrays, myself.  Less efficient, perhaps, but
certainly more consistent.  And if I wanted lists back, I'd just use
List.XXX (Array.to_list arr).
