Hmm, it may be a bit confusing, since one of the current semantics is
close to

  □ The SMALLEST index with the value > argument

So, to clarify: using “the largest” above was just “an accident”!  I
do not suggest “changing LARGEST to SMALLEST”; what I propose is
allowing different semantics of “what happens on EQUALITY”.

Sorry for confusion,
