That's pretty good, and IMHO a bit better than John Machin's suggestion
to use the __contains__() method. (I have this prejudice that using the
__XXX__ methods in "everyday code" is cheating.)
Given how common string maniuplations are, I guess I'm surprised that
Python hasn't yet made "contains()" into both a "string"-module function
*and* a string-object method.
