Description:
------------
Looking for a comparison operator/function to similar to the mysql "in" function.

This could be used to replace long if statments:
if($a=="b" || $a=="c" || $a=="d")

something like
if(in($a,"b","c","d"))
or
if($a=="b"||"c"||"d")
or
if($a|="b","c","d")

if (in_array("a", array("a", "b", "c"))) works fine for this :)

That works... as does an ereg() call, but it seems kind of clunky to have to create an array and then call an array function (or use a pattern match), when it would be more efficient to have a function/operator that deals directly with the string.

Just my two cents...
