FWIW , I agree with this.
Using strchr() in place of strstr() can hardly be considered
inappropriate, since the docs have indicated an exact alias
for quite some time.
I can't imagine what sort of logic would be required to realize
a performance gain, but if it _is_ necessary, why not implement an entirely
new function for single chars, strschr() say.
