I think this would be better as CharSetUtils.containsAny(String, String), as what you're describing is what we've called a charset (ie: a probably loose implementation of the character class part of regexp). Currently you'd have to implement it as if(CharSetUtils.count("foo","aoeiu") > 0), so not much code but a little odd.

I'm not sure I get the use case for the Collection, though doing that for all of CharSetUtils wouldn't be too ugly given how small that class is.

> Presently there is a: public static boolean containsAny(CharSequence cs, char... searchChars). It would be useful to have the: public static boolean containsAny(CharSequence cs, CharSequence... searchCharSequences) which will return true if any of the searchCharSequences are contained within the cs. If you decide to implement it, it would be nice to have an alias method for collections, e.g., public static boolean containsAny(CharSequence cs, Collection<CharSequence> searchCharSequences)
