Nevermind.  This doesn't work because all of the X= operators in
question are assignment operators, and therefore generate a Syntax
Error if in a nested expression. I think I've settled on just doing a
table.column.IN(blah) syntax.  This should be obvious to anyone reading
the code, and doesn't require mangling of the name (since it's
capitalized).  Then we'd have similar functions for other non intuitive
things, such as LIKE, EXISTS (on the table) and even a WHERE:

person.WHERE(
   (person.type_id == 'customer')
   & (person.id.IN(phone(phone.person_id)))
)
