well, i would think of #member? as most natural for set membership - so
#contains? would/should be most like #include? - in my mind.

   harp:~ > cat a.rb
   module Enumerable
     def contains? value
       map.include? value
     end
   end

   r = "a" .. "aa"
   p r.contains?("z")

   harp:~ > ruby a.rb
   true

so, if each would 'hit' it - it's contained.

kind regards.
