* This is an implementation of binary search which will always try and return
* the index of the closest element if there is no exact hit. This is because
* mappings between original and generated line/col pairs are single points,
* and there is an implicit region between each of them, so a miss just means
* that you aren't on the very start of a region.
*
* @param aNeedle The element you are looking for.
* @param aHaystack The array that is being searched.
* @param aCompare A function which takes the needle and an element in the
* array and returns -1, 0, or 1 depending on whether the needle is less
* than, equal to, or greater than the element, respectively.
* @param aBias Either 'binarySearch.GREATEST_LOWER_BOUND' or
* 'binarySearch.LEAST_UPPER_BOUND'. Specifies whether to return the
* closest element that is smaller than or greater than the one we are
* searching for, respectively, if the exact element cannot be found.
* Defaults to 'binarySearch.GREATEST_LOWER_BOUND'.
