inAreaArray variant to return indexes: inAreaArrayIndexes

Description

I'd like to request a variation of inAreaArray command that returns matching indexes instead of array elements. Non-object entities have to be represented as positions and to determine which non-object entity was matched by the command, you have to resort to hacky approaches like storing indexes as position Z coordinate which creates additional overhead for high-performing scripts, for which inAreaArray command very useful.

Additional Information

Current inAreaArray output:

[
	[0,0,0],
	[100,0,0],
	[200,0,0]
] inAreaArrayIndexes [[0,0,0], 150, 150]

>`[[0,0,0],[100,0,0]]`

Proposed inAreaArrayIndexes output:

[
	[0,0,0],
	[100,0,0],
	[200,0,0]
] inAreaArrayIndexes [[0,0,0], 150, 150]

>`[0,1]`

You can just store them as hashmaps now
