I don't know what makes something "standard" for you. As covered 
in (info "(elisp) String Basics") a string is an array, and as 
covered in (info "(elisp) Array Functions"), aref can be used to 
fetch an element of an array.

And as a random sample of some core code, aref is used 17 times in 
files.el from what I can see.

Cheers,
