[PATCH] use strpbrk(3) to search for characters from a given set

We can check if certain characters are present in a string by calling strchr(3) on each of them, or we can pass them all to a single strpbrk(3) call. The latter is shorter, less repetitive and slightly more efficient, so let's do that instead.
