Hi,

I'd like to propose a new keyword: in. It should work like the
SQL-in-expression.

For example you have a variable $val and want to test whether it
contains e.g. 1 or 2 or 99.

At the moment I would choose between on of the following
code-constructs:

1.) if ($var == 1 ||
        $var == 2 ||
        $var == 99) { // ...

2.) if (in_array ($var, array (1, 2, 99)) { // ...

What about adopting such a keyword as in to be able to write the
following code:

if ($var in (1, 2, 99)) { // ...

Well, at least I find it quite elegant. :)

I'd appreciate any comments.

Alex
