I wouldn't question utility but rather the implementation of the above.
One thing I'd love to see is thing like
handful!("struct", "class", "union")
that does pre-process contents at compile time to speed up search.
In other words it's possible to not only come close to a series of a ==
"struct" || a == "class" || a == "union" but surpass it.
Sounds like an enhanced tuple?
Tuple is the representation of an interval but that's where commonality
stops.
Rats, sorry (no coffee yet). It was about "handful" and I was at
"interval". I can see how an inclusion for tuple would make sense, even
in the current notion - i.e. we could add "in" to Tuple and get to write:
if (x in tuple("struct", "class", "union")) { ... }
