This may be is a very basic question, but is there a way to let me omit a repeating variable when doing multiple boolean operations?

if ( var == a || var == b || var == c || var == d)
if ( var == (a || b || c || d) )

bool anySame( T, U... )( T arg1, U args ) {
  foreach ( arg; args ) {
    if ( arg1 == arg ) {
      return true;
    }
  }
  return false;
}

bool allSame( T, U... )( T arg1, U args ) {
  foreach ( arg; args ) {
    if ( arg1 != arg ) {
      return false;
    }
  }
  return true;
}

Not tested, but they should work:

if ( anySame( var, a, b, c, d ) ) {
}

if ( allSame( var, a, b, c, d ) ) {
}
