Is there a better way to do this check?

[Mervine, Keith]

Greetings,
        Is there (im sure there is) a better way to do this check?
It's to check class and compare the items restrictclass var to it to 
Make sure the characters class can use it....

bool can_wear_class(CHAR_DATA *ch, OBJ_DATA *obj){
   if (!obj->restrictclass)
        return TRUE; //no restrictions

        if (IS_RESTRICT_CLASS(obj, REST_CLASS_WITCH) &&
ch->class==CLASS_WITCH)
        return TRUE;
   else if (IS_RESTRICT_CLASS(obj, REST_CLASS_CLERIC) && ch->class
==CLASS_CLERIC)
        return TRUE;
   else if (IS_RESTRICT_CLASS(obj, REST_CLASS_THIEF) &&
ch->class==CLASS_THIEF)
        return TRUE;
   else if (IS_RESTRICT_CLASS(obj, REST_CLASS_WARRIOR) &&
ch->class==CLASS_WARRIOR)
        return TRUE;
   else if (IS_RESTRICT_CLASS(obj, REST_CLASS_PALADIN) && ch->class
==CLASS_PALADIN)
        return TRUE;
   else if (IS_RESTRICT_CLASS(obj, REST_CLASS_DARK_PALADIN) &&
ch->class==CLASS_DARK_PALADIN)
        return TRUE;
   else if (IS_RESTRICT_CLASS(obj, REST_CLASS_NINJA) &&
ch->class==CLASS_NINJA)
        return TRUE;
   else if (IS_RESTRICT_CLASS(obj, REST_CLASS_RANGER) && ch->class
==CLASS_RANGER)
        return TRUE;
   else if (IS_RESTRICT_CLASS(obj, REST_CLASS_WARLOCK) &&
ch->class==CLASS_WARLOCK)
        return TRUE;
   else if (IS_RESTRICT_CLASS(obj, REST_CLASS_SAMURAI) &&
ch->class==CLASS_SAMURAI)
        return TRUE;
   else if (IS_RESTRICT_CLASS(obj, REST_CLASS_VAMPIRE) && ch->class
==CLASS_VAMPIRE)
        return TRUE;
   else if (IS_RESTRICT_CLASS(obj, REST_CLASS_NECROMANCER) &&
ch->class==CLASS_NECROMANCER)
        return TRUE;
   else if (IS_RESTRICT_CLASS(obj, REST_CLASS_PSIONICIST) &&
ch->class==CLASS_PSIONICIST)
        return TRUE;
   else if (IS_RESTRICT_CLASS(obj, REST_CLASS_WATER_ELEM) &&
ch->class==CLASS_WATER_ELEM)
        return TRUE;
   else if (IS_RESTRICT_CLASS(obj, REST_CLASS_AIR_ELEM) &&
ch->class==CLASS_AIR_ELEM)
        return TRUE;
   else if (IS_RESTRICT_CLASS(obj, REST_CLASS_FIRE_ELEM) && ch->class
==CLASS_FIRE_ELEM)
        return TRUE;
   else if (IS_RESTRICT_CLASS(obj, REST_CLASS_EARTH_ELEM) &&
ch->class==CLASS_EARTH_ELEM)
        return TRUE;
   else if (IS_RESTRICT_CLASS(obj, REST_CLASS_LIGHT_ELEM) &&
ch->class==CLASS_LIGHT_ELEM)
        return TRUE;
   else if (IS_RESTRICT_CLASS(obj, REST_CLASS_ASSASSIN) &&
ch->class==CLASS_ASSASSIN)
        return TRUE;
   else if (IS_RESTRICT_CLASS(obj, REST_CLASS_MONK) &&
ch->class==CLASS_MONK)
        return TRUE;
   else if (IS_RESTRICT_CLASS(obj, REST_CLASS_BARD) &&
ch->class==CLASS_BARD)
        return TRUE;
   else if (IS_RESTRICT_CLASS(obj, REST_CLASS_DRUID) &&
ch->class==CLASS_DRUID)
        return TRUE;


   return FALSE; //didn't succeed at any comparison checks
