Hmmmm,

I am currently working with two lists in an application and had a thought.
 May not be an original thought but a thought nonetheless.  :)

Has anyone ever had a need to compare two lists?  For instance lets say you
have the following lists and you want to know if any items from List1
exists in List2:


   - List1:  item1, item2, item3
   - List2:  item2, item3, item4, item5

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to do something like this:
 ListCompare(List1,List2,',')?  Possible results:

   - Returns 1 if any value in List1 is in List2.
   - Returns 0 if none of List1's values are in List2

Thoughts...

As i was typing this a co-worker shared this link with me:
http://www.cflib.org/udf/listCompare.  I can easily implement something
like this, but the question is would the OpenBD Team be willing to add a
flavor of this as a built in List function?
