You can also use is.element(els,set) instead of the equivalent
els%in%set
No they are not *equivalent*. Equivalent means you could substitute
one by the other in your code without changing its behavior.

and leave your precedence problems behind.

BTW, that %in% has precedence over arithmetic operations is surprising,
error-prone, and doesn't cover any reasonable use case (who needs to
multiply the logical vector returned by %in% by some value?) but that's
another story:
The point here is that the %foo% operators all have the _same_ precedence. In
principle, they can be user-coded, and there is no way to express what
precedence is desirable. It may turn out slightly weird for %in%, but think of
what would happen if %*% had lower precedence than addition.
