Usage

const sequentialIndexOf = require('sequential-indexof')

const array = ['a', 'b', 'a']
const indexOf = sequentialIndexOf(array) // returns a function

indexOf('a') // returns 0, the first index of 'a'
indexOf('a') // returns 2, the second index of 'a'
indexOf('a') // returns -1, since there are no more instances of 'a'

indexOf('b') // returns 1, the first index of 'b'
indexOf('b') // returns -1, since there are no more instances of 'b'

indexOf('c') // returns -1, since there are no instances of 'c'
