I simply extrapolated the behavior from `indexOf(int ch,int fromIndex), which
has a similar note:
* There is no restriction on the value of {@code fromIndex}. If it
* is negative, it has the same effect as if it were zero: this entire
* string may be searched. If it is greater than the length of this
* string, it has the same effect as if it were equal to the length of
* this string: {@code -1} is returned.

I was reluctant to add it, as it is not yet known when the PR will be
integrated. I'll add it in the next commit.
