+/* Fast memmem algorithm with guaranteed linear-time performance.
+ Small needles up to size 2 use a dedicated linear search. Longer needles
+ up to size 256 use a novel modified Horspool algorithm. It hashes pairs
+ of characters to quickly skip past mismatches. The main search loop only
+ exits if the last 2 characters match, avoiding unnecessary calls to memcmp
+ and allowing for a larger skip if there is no match. A self-adapting
+ filtering check is used to quickly detect mismatches in long needles.
+ By limiting the needle length to 256, the shift table can be reduced to 8
+ bits per entry, lowering preprocessing overhead and minimizing cache effects.
+ The limit also implies worst-case performance is linear.
+ Needles larger than 256 characters use the linear-time Two-Way algorithm. */
