Description

The remarks made on this page related to an empty anyOf character array being passed into the function are wrong. The documentation states:

If anyOf is an empty array, the method finds a match at the beginning of the string (that is, at index zero).

Whereas in reality, -1 is returned. Tested with .NET Framework 4.8 as well as .NET 8.0. Might be different in .NET 10, but then it would be a breaking change, which I haven't found anywhere.
