Sebb commented on LANG-1046:
----------------------------
The string "alphabet" matches "alpha.*" and starts with "alph.".
Both of these are supported. They are anchored to the start of the string.
It also contains "ph.b", but matching this is not directly supported.
> containsPattern method for StringUtils?

> The JVM Matcher class only supports anchored matches.
> It might perhaps be useful to add a containsPattern(CharSequence input,
> String pattern) method that returns true if the input contains the pattern.
