Bug description: add "in" operator to test for inclusion
Description:
------------
Some languages such as SQL or (cough)Visual Basic(cough) include an "in"
operator to test for inclusion in a given range of values.
SQL uses an explicit list of values like so:
SELECT s1 FROM t1 WHERE s1 IN (SELECT s1 FROM t2);
Or an even simpler example:
SELECT 'foo' IN ('foo','bar','foobar');
Visual Basic makes it even better by adding the ellipsis operator:
if iBar in (25..40) then
This would be a great addition to PHP, with or without the ellipsis
operator. It would be especially useful for switch statements. And if
you could pass it an array, I'd be in heaven!
