I would be inclined to code it like this:

It *should* be possible for the compiler to optimize your version to this, at 
least in a release build, but after a certain amount of complexity in the 
source, it might be asking too much.

Since your test result showed “contains” actually being invoked, you know you 
have that overhead, and also I wonder if there’s some overhead in setting up 
the array value for every byte.

*My* [2]? I dunno exactly, the difference is that it eliminates the invocation 
of “index(where:)” for each byte. It’s not clear whether the current (or the 
upcoming) Swift compiler could actually inline the method, which would make it 
a wash, or if the overhead is worth worrying about.

My advice is, as usual, don’t go to extraordinary lengths to optimize something 
unless you know you have a performance problem, and breaking out of a pure 
Swift idiom might be a little extraordinary.
