I tried a lot, I give up. But I noticed this,
if 'foo'.count (sub, [start, end])
allowed us to place a regexp in place of sub, we could've shortened it.
But unfortunately we need to import re and compile one before using.
So achieving something like
foo = 'FILIPEK'
q=1;foo.gsub(/[DTFL]/){q*=2} p q}
is not possible. In the above ruby code mainly gsub and 'p' as a
shorthand for print is helping out.
Python is really made for writing readable code :P
The quest for 53 bytes py code is still on.
