I agree for 'is in' and 'contains'.  (I think 'contains' does an extra 
copy.)

However, offset() provides position info.  I can't think of a fast 
method that is great for 'is in' that cannot also provide position info 
quickly, but that does not mean someone else can't.

Yeah.  For me, the ability to pass arrays with send and the feature of 
nested arrays will allow me to avoid split.   When and if they come.
