(Link to original RFC: rust-lang/rfcs#528)

This is a tracking issue for the unstable pattern feature in the standard library. We have many APIs which support the ability to search with any number of patterns generically within a string (e.g. substrings, characters, closures, etc), but implementing your own pattern (e.g. a regex) is not stable. It would be nice if these implementations could indeed be stable!

Some open questions are:

  • Have these APIs been audited for naming and consistency?
  • Are we sure these APIs are as conservative as they need to be?
  • Are we sure that these APIs are as performant as they can be?
  • Are we sure that these APIs can be used to implement all the necessary forms of searching?
