- Indeed. Jewels and Stones is not very descriptive of what the task is doing and could be a copyrighted term. A better, more generic name would be something like: Count occurrences of a substring. If only we had such a task... --Thundergnat (talk) 12:53, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
- Sorry. I was trying to be funny but that doesn't come across very well in text. :-( My point was we already have pretty much exactly this task with a more generic name: Count occurrences of a substring My vote on this task is to merge and delete. (Perhaps with a redirect.)
- It seems to me that there's a subtle difference between the two. The existing task was counting how many times B (of arbitrary length) was contained in A. The new one is counting how many characters (or if you like sub-strings of length 1) within B are contained in A.
