Mind you, I haven't really looked systematically, just making educated
guesses...
At this point I've grepped all the current gfn code for strstr used
directly as boolean. That showed up the two FEP instances that you
mentioned and no others. My test wouldn't catch straight
if <string-variable>
but I'd be very surprised if that exists at all. It was the strstr
case that I touted as a nice convenience back in 2016 when I made
that bad decision!
I can upload a revised FEP if you like, or leave it to you or Artur.
I'd suggest using 'strstr(args) != ""' for now to avoid pushing the
version dependency to instring() and 2018a.
