I'd like to see a new builtin named "in" which does the same as "in" in SQL.
Basically,
print "OK!" if $val in ("foo","bar","bla");
is the same as
print "OK!" if grep { $_ eq $val } ("foo","bar","bla");
or
print "OK!" if $val eq "foo" or $val eq ....
except it's a lot more compact, intuitive to use and readable...
