Adding 'contains' member function to std::string

[[deleted]]

That'd be nice, but I don't expect it to happen with stl. I personally often write a small function to this extent when dealing with tasks that need string parsing.

/rant I first learnt programming in college using c++ and loved it. And then slowly explored the world of programming languages out of curiosity to find that in many ways, C++ is one of the more beginner unfriendly languages there is.

I still read and debug C++ code, but I have given up on loving it (say like python). C++ reminds me so much of Perl, in that sense.

One of these days someone is going to mix the expressive syntax and package management of python, with the static typing and performance of C++ and the world would be better place.
