Using the "in" operator to test if something is in a list should now perform much better for most cases. Additionally, list.Find() will now perform better for turf and area contents.

This issue has been resolved.

The in operator has been observed to be slower than list.Find() in some cases.

Kozuma3	Awesome :D any news on overloading in?

Lummox JR	I have no plans to overload "in". Doing so would really require some way of letting a datum treat itself as a list in a more general case.
