Wouldn't that rather be a.among!("struct", "class", "union")?
I'd rather have a regular function (more generally applicable) that
the inliner takes care of.
Where would the real difference to ["struct", "class",
"union"].canFind(a) then?
Convenience. I find the other easier to write and read.
A sufficiently smart compiler (tm) could
optimize this to a efficient string "prefix switch statement" just as well…
