Bug 20166 – among should have an overload for fixed-length arrays

Currently, one needs to use aliasSeq or aliasSeqOf to define the list of values for among to look through. When defining a list of elements that will be used elsewhere, a fixed-length array is often more useful, and this dance to convert between the two is not helping anyone. IOW, this should compile: enum brackets = ['(', '[', '{', '}', ']', ')']; assert('('.among(brackets));

Presumably you mean a dynamic array. The docs for among say see also canFind. That does what you want: import std.algorithm.searching; enum brackets = ['(', '[', '{', '}', ']', ')']; static assert(brackets.canFind('('));

Marking as WONTFIX because `among` says use `canFind` to search a range.
