Feature request: add a find method

[florentdestremau]

Similar to the javascript Array.prototype.find, this function would take a closure as a an argument and return the first item matching the closure.

Example:

$collection = new ArrayCollection();

$itemToBeFound = $collection->find(fn ($item): bool => $item->getFoo() === 'bar');

$item here would be nullable.

The function is already implemented:

collections/src/ReadableCollection.php

Lines 216 to 226 in 425857d

	/**
	* Returns the first element of this collection that satisfies the predicate p.
	*
	* @param Closure $p The predicate.
	* @psalm-param Closure(TKey, T):bool $p
	*
	* @return mixed The first element respecting the predicate,
	* null if no element respects the predicate.
	* @psalm-return T|null
	*/
	public function findFirst(Closure $p);

this is only in the 2.0 version, is there a reason it's not included in earlier versions ?

Not completely convinced but okay, fair enough
