My problem is that I find it difficult to remember that
Python considers 'in' to be a comparison operator.
To me, comparison is something you do between things of
the same kind, whereas 'in' is a relationship between
things of different kinds. Calling it a comparison is
like comparing apples and oranges. Or apples and
baskets of apples, or something.
