This code works:

import std.algorithm;

void main()
{
    string str = "hello world";
    str = find(str, "h", "j", "\n");
}

This code works:

import std.algorithm;

void main()
{
    string str = "hello world";
    str = find(str, 'h');
}

But this code doesn't:

import std.algorithm;

void main()
{
    string str = "hello world";
    str = find(str, 'h', 'j', '\n');
}

Currently, if you pass multiple needles to find, they must all be ranges.
startsWith and endsWith will work with a combination of elements and ranges.
find should do the same. And since the overload of find which takes multiple
needles uses startsWith, it's that much more ridiculous that find doesn't work
with a combination of ranges and elements like startsWith and endsWith do.
