If we want to check if a string contains any/all of several other strings

I suggest adding some "sugar" to make it more readable by adding
contains_any_in and contains_all_in to look like this
For any:
if master_string contains_any_in ['string1', 'string2', 'string3']:
For all:
if master_string contains_all_in ['string1', 'string2', 'string3]:
They sound more like string methods to me, by analogy with startswith()
and endswith():
if master_string.contains_any('string1', 'string2', 'string3'):
etc. The only question is whether this is a common enough requirement
to justify their existence. I don't remember our recent discussion on
suffices coming to much of a conclusion about that. Anyone?
