To be really consistent,
x in arr
would need to be equivalent to:
(x >= 0) && (x < arr.length)
`in` tests for the presence of a _key_ in AAs, and the
equivalent notion of a key for arrays is an index.
It's called 'in', not 'haskey'. Is 3 in the array? Is 7 in
the map? Everybody understands what it means and the whole
argument is nonsense. Next somebody will be arguing that
float/float and int/int aren't the same operation and should
have different syntax.
I'm quite a fan of python's // operator for integer division,
especially when combined with python 3's choice to make / always
mean floating point division (i.e. 3/2 == float(3)/2, 3//2 == 1).
It recognises that integer division is a weird thing and
separates it from the much less weird floating point division.
