In 5125, I did propose a precedence, but did not explicitly proposed a
name for the internal method. However, I feel "a in b" should mean
"b.include? a", just like the original poster had said.

maybe contains? would be a better name (?), but if it were, "contains?" 
would have to become the official name for "include?".

Disclaimer: I've never used the "for..in" statement in ruby. :-)
