Duh. I don't recall anyone claiming it was. I think the "an
implementation in Oberon" part clued most of us in to that fact
immediately, if not for the code that followed.

No, not really.

Nice grammar. :-)

Nice try. Too bad the OP's question was to find out whether or
not characters in a are a subset of b. The above fails that for
several reasons. First of all, you have the contents of a and b
backwards. Secondly, this gets the index of the first character
that doesn't match, not a boolean answer, at least as written.

It is? I didn't realize that "sleek" meant "fails to meet
program objectives".

Your post was in fact flawed, erroneous (note the spelling),
somewhat bizarre, and ultimately probably not worth responding
to here.
