When you do foo in bar it's actually calling Python methods, not the datastore
ops., and since
Python sees favorites as a list of keys it should not fetch the entities.
If you were to do index this and do it in datastore side ("WHERE favorites =
thekey") it might have to
"un-marshal" the property and do a normal lookup, but I don't think the
slowdown is noticeable.
