#' Find points within a PointTier.
#'
#' Find points according to various search criteria: e.g., that occur within a
#' time range, whose labels match a pattern.
#'
#' @param tier A \code{PointTier} object.
#' @param pattern A regular expression for matching point labels.
#'   Default is \code{'*'} so that the search finds all points within
#'   \code{[from, to]}.
#' @param from A numeric, the earliest time from which to search for points.
#'   Default is \code{-Inf} so that the search includes the start of \code{tier}.
#' @param to A numeric, the latest time to which to search for points.
#'   Default is \code{Inf} so that the search includes the end of \code{tier}.
#' @param ... optional arguments passed to \code{grep}.
#' @return A \code{data.frame} whose rows correspond to the points found
#'   according to the search criteria, and whose columns are:

#' Find intervals within an IntervalTier.
#'
#' Find intervals according to various search criteria.
#'
#' Default behavior of \code{findIntervals} is to search for intervals within
#' \code{[from, to]}. If the \code{at} argument is a non-empty numeric vector,
#' then this default behavior is overridden, and the \code{tier} is searched
#' only at the time given by \code{at}.
#'
#' @param tier An \code{IntervalTier} object.
#' @param pattern A regular expression for matching interval labels.
#'   Default is \code{'*'} so that the search finds all intervals within
#'   \code{[from, to]}.
#' @param from A numeric, the earliest time from which to search for intervals.
#'   Default is \code{-Inf} so that the search includes the start of \code{tier}.
#' @param to A numeric, the latest time to which to search for intervals.
#'   Default is \code{Inf} so that the search includes the end of \code{tier}.
#' @param at A numeric, an exact time at which to find intervals.
#'   Default is \code{numeric()} so that intervals are searched within
#'   \code{[from, to]}.
#' @param ... optional arguments passed to \code{grep}.
#' @return A \code{data.frame} whose rows correspond to the intervals found
