+This function is a helper for the "find" family (find, rfind, index,
+rindex) of unicodeobject.c file, because they all have the same 
+behaviour for the arguments.
+
+It does not touch the variables received until it knows everything 
+is ok.
+
+Note that we receive a pointer to the pointer of the substring object,
+so when we create that object in this function we don't DECREF it,
+because it continues living in the caller functions (those functions, 
+after finishing using the substring, must DECREF it).
