I'd say no; the distinction between collections "having" an element and strings 
"containing" a substring seems very sensible. It's a bit more awkward to say a 
string "has" a substring, and a string is definitely not a collection of 
substrings in any reasonable sense.

If anyone had proposed String.prototype.has(singleCharOrMaybeCodePoint), then 
perhaps that name would make sense.
