	table.binsearch( table, value [, compval [, reversed] ] )
	
	Searches the table through BinarySearch for the given value.
	If the  value is found:
		it returns a table holding all the mathing indices (e.g. { startindice,endindice } )
		endindice may be the same as startindice if only one matching indice was found
	If compval is given:
		then it must be a function that takes one value and returns a second value2,
		to be compared with the input value, e.g.:
		compvalue = function( value ) return value[1] end
	If reversed is set to true:
		then the search assumes that the table is sorted in reverse order (largest value at position 1)
		note when reversed is given compval must be given as well, it can be nil/_ in this case
	Return value:
		on success: a table holding matching indices (e.g. { startindice,endindice } )
		on failure: nil

	Inserts a given value through BinaryInsert into the table sorted by [, comp].
	
	If 'comp' is given, then it must be a function that receives
	two table elements, and returns true when the first is less
	than the second, e.g. comp = function(a, b) return a > b end,
	will give a sorted table, with the biggest value on position 1.
	[, comp] behaves as in table.sort(table, value [, comp])
	returns the index where 'value' was inserted
