+//! Optimized `contains` string function for Spark compatibility.
+//!
+//! This implementation is optimized for the common case where the pattern
+//! (second argument) is a scalar value. In this case, we use `memchr::memmem::Finder`
+//! which is SIMD-optimized and reuses a single finder instance across all rows.
+//!
+//! The DataFusion built-in `contains` function uses `make_scalar_function` which
+//! expands scalar values to arrays, losing the performance benefit of the optimized
+//! scalar path in arrow-rs.
