Andrei has recently closed issue 1323, it's a small but very useful
feature, so I suggest some public discussion:
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1323
Lines like this is present thousands of time in my Python code:
n in [1, 2, 3]
c in "hello"
"llo" in some_string
Bye,

This feature was discussed before.
If 'in' operator was overladable, users would expect it to have some
known complexity.
Having sintactic sugar for some operation means that it is supposed to
be used widely, and using O(n) operations all over the place is not a
good idea.
Also, IMO, it has no real advantage, why not use std.algorithm.find instead ?
