(Yes, that was a typo.)

If this is added, then that begs to also have something like[*]

  (define (string-index-of sub str [start 0] [end (string-length str)])
    (define m (regexp-match-positions (regexp-quote sub) str start end))
    (and m (caar m)))

?  If so, then what should it be called?



([*] untested, more typos possible.)
