lastIndexOf(value, start?)

Returns the last position of a value, or -1 if the value is not found.

Returns the position of the last of equivalent values. The second argument is an optional index from which to start seeking, the upper bound of the search, and defaults to length - 1, meaning search the entire collection.

For arrays, equivalence is defined by the === operator. For all other collections, equivalence is defined by contentEquals, which can be overridden with an argument to the collection’s constructor, or by assigning a property to either the instance or prototype. The default contentEquals is Object.equals, which performs a deep equality comparison.

This method is slow, requiring a linear walk. Fast implementations of lastIndexOf(value) exist for SortedSet, SortedArray, and SortedArraySet, but do not support a start index.

The precedent for the lastIndexOf method is the JavaScript Array method, as described on MDN.
