[jira] [Commented] (JEXL-176) Synonym operator name 'in' for operator =~

["Henri Biestro (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JEXL-176?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14706733#comment-14706733 ] 

Henri Biestro commented on JEXL-176:
------------------------------------

The 'in' operator is an (unfortunate) compatibility requirement (that {c,sh}ould be dropped).
If anything, I'd remove it from the language syntax since 'in' as a keyword is just inconvenient too often.
