There already is a c-strstr module.

But now that you mention it, why is there a c-strstr module, or a
fancy strstr replacement that looks at multibyte characters?  POSIX
says strstr operates on byte strings, not character strings.

Anyway, this issue is a bit orthogonal to the original problem, which
due to our not-strictly-necessary messing with string.h's name space.
