Just looking at this small snippet of code, I would say that the 
previous code and your suggestion won't do the same thing.

Do you have unit tests that confirm that the behavior is identical with 
the current implementation and your suggested change?

When I run your suggestion, I get return value 0, but with the current 
implementation it's 3 for this call: strspn("129th", "1234567890").

Kind regards,
Torbjörn
