Ah, okay. In my case, it doesn't work if the set you specify is a constant or variable defined elsewhere.
e.g. const Delimiters: array[0..5] of Char = [#9, #10, #12, #13, #26, #32]; if C in Delimiters then... If you do that, you get a compiler error about 'in' not being overloaded or some such.

At the risk of sounding stupid, but why would you want to add this if the compiler supports this out of the box ? var C : char; begin if ParamCount>0 then c:=paramstr(1)[1] else c:=#0; if c in ['a','b','c'] then writeln('ok') else writeln('not ok') end.
