Could you?

It's like an hour to copy/paste a reference implementation and set up unit tests. Maybe an hour or two fine tuning the implementation for your language and benchmarking some use cases.

I'd been using the same C# Boyer-Moore impl for like 15 years, and happened to have just recently updated it for Span support. I doubt I have 8 hours into it in total, and it's thoroughly benchmarked and tested.

You're missing my point. Pick coding up something that for you would be an egregious waste of your time on this earth.
