The alternative would be to simply define these as functions:
if (a.among("struct", "class", "union")) { ... }
if (b.between(1, 100)) { ... }
Andrei
if (a in ["struct", "class", "union"]) { ... }
if (a in someArrayVar) { ... }
works wonders for me. Why not? Somehow I cannot see the disadvantages.
Please educate.

The argument seems to be that since an array search is O(n) and an AA
lookup is O(1), this example would be "misleading".
Not that I think this matters at all in practice.
