Hello Björn,

thanks a lot for your attention to this thread.

Very happy to hear that it's technicaly feasible and that the
complexity is acceptable.

Why do you clearly prefer is_member/2 or lists_member/2 to 'Var in
<list literal>' ?

It's also a good opportunity to make Erlang more modern with a sexy
syntactic sugar...

Cheers
