Description
This is a request to have a stdlib function for `contains`. Right now, I'm using something like:
```
strContains(s, substr):: (
std.length(std.findSubstr(substr, s)) > 0
)
```
But the problem is that `findSubstr` is doing a regex, so I need to be aware of that and escape, which is not always possible, if that value isn't hard-coded.
*edit* or at least that's how it reads from the documentation:
```
std.findSubstr(pat, str)
Returns an array that contains the indexes of all occurances of pat in str.
```
the use of `pat` being short for `pattern` usually meaning regex.
Is there another way to do this?
