I was searching through the prelude looking for a way to find a
formatted string within another string in ATS, but there doesn't seem to be
a built-in way to do this. Before I make something myself, I just wanted
to see what opinions there are on the best way to perform this operation in
ATS.
Do you think I should use the C standard library through ATS' ability
to call inline C code? Should I just loop through a strnptr and manually
check the chars? Personally, I want to try using linear streams here to
take advantage of their low-memory overhead (and because I've fallen
straight into the "once you have a hammer everything looks like a nail"
trap with linear streams.) But, I want to hear what others think, so
please let me know which solution you think is best.
As a side note, should we add more string manipulation capabilities to
the prelude? I don't know what Hongwei's stance on this is, but if he
thinks it would be a good idea I'd be willing to contribute these functions
to the prelude.
