    IMHO it's also MUCH more efficient than the smartmatch, which will check against every element of a potentially huge temporary array, instead of just the boundaries.

    And certainly better readable.

    Saying so, having an in LIST operator wouldn't harm, but that's not the demonstrated use case.

        Broken English is the most spoken language in the world. Better adapt! ;p

        Funny enough, I literally just read a discussion in the guardian where a bunch of Brits were discussing how easy English supposedly was.

        The less languages they knew, the more confident they were ... xD
