Description
find fn returns a tuple with the unread buffer and the matched string by needle. The question is if it could also return the position of the expression used in ReadUntil::Any(vec)? Right now I'm looping through the passed expressions and checking which one matches the returned matched string.
Think "did I match username or password prompt, what to send back to the process".

Research direction
Start by tracing the find function and the ReadUntil::Any(vec) or exp_any implementation to understand how the unread buffer and matched string are returned. Update the result so callers can identify which expression matched, then verify that the username/password prompt use case no longer requires comparing the matched string against every expression.
