I know this has been discussed on the list before to some extent, but does clojure by default have any operations which actually do what "contains?" sounds like it would do, for all collections? I know that you can easily write something similar using "some", but often times you just want to find if something is in a list of items.
I've seen Rich say that contains? is for associative things, but I think it is an unfortunate name - if the idea is to express that the collection has a value for that key, I think the name would ideally express that, like: contains-key? has-key? maps? I see that clojure-contrib has includes?, which perhaps indicates that clojure by default doesn't have such a function. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
