You could have:

foo.bar.equals_one(1, 2, 7)

or

equals_one(foo.bar, 1, 2, 7)

How often do you do this? Your original expression is probably more
readable if you typically only have two values to compare. If you have
three or more, a function *may* help (that's why I added a param to
the above). Another option would be to create a macro in your editor
to easily type the expression with minimal keystrokes.
