Why not make 'in' work for arrays (and strings also)?

std.algorithm.find
string buildLog;

One thing I learned which is somewhat topical--"x in y" is not a
boolean expression; its value of the expression is a pointer to
the value in the AA. This would break for "string in string"
searches, but seems OK for regular arrays.
