Does the standard library have an indexOf function for char pointers similar
to a static version of java's java.lang.String.indexOf()?

As in:
/* Returns the index of lookFor in lookIn if lookFor is found in lookIn;
 * else returns -1.
 */
int indexOf(char* lookIn, char* lookFor);

That I could use like this:
char* p = "This and that.";
char* q = "that";
int i = indexOf(p, q);
// so p[i...i+3] = "that"
