--[[
  Returns the index where t[index] == target.
  If there is no such index, returns a negative vaule such that bit32.bnot(value) is
  the index that the vaule should be inserted to keep the list ordered.
  t must be a list in ascending order for the return value to be valid.

  Usage example:
  local t = {1,3,5,7,9}
  local x = 5
  local index = table.binary_search(t, x)
  if index < 0 then
    game.print("value not found, smallest index where t[index] > x is: " .. bit32.bnot(index))
  else
    game.print("value found at index: " .. index)
  end
]]

    function(t, target)
    --For some reason bit32.bnot doesn't return negative numbers so I'm using ~x = -1 - x instead.
