Max Tardiveau updated JEXL-118: ------------------------------- Description: It would be very useful to have an IN operator, e.g.: status in ['A', 'B', 'C'] that would return a boolean. This can currently be done with : status == 'A' or status == 'B' or status == 'C' but (especially for longer lists) the IN operator would be more concise and more elegant. Extra bonus points, of course, if this works with variables, e.g.: status in possibleStatuses where possibleStatuses would be an object of type Collection. was: It would be very useful to have an IN operator, e.g.: status in ['A', 'B', 'C'] This can currently be done with : status == 'A' or status == 'B' or status == 'C' but (especially for longer lists) the IN operator would be more concise and more elegant.
