Is there an efficient way to test for a character in a string?

Using rb_funcall, I could do:

  VALUE testchr = rb_str_new("+", 1);
  VALUE chr = rb_funcall(str,rb_intern("[]"), 1, INT2FIX(0));

Now that I have testchr and chr, I don't know how to compare them.
and, it seems awfully inefficient.
  
I'd rather do someting like:

  if ( '+' == *(RSTRING(str)->ptr) ) {

but this doesn't seem to work either.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
