It would be nice if it were possible to use the "in" expression wherever possible. Now it is only implemented for associative. arrays. (Weird). Examples of how this could be used: - Find string in string - Search for a character in a string - Search for an item in the array, array of characters, array of strings, tuples, enum, structure - what else?
This has been suggested before. The problem is that 'in' is generally considered to be a fast operation (< O(n)) so linear search is out.
