Well, it does show thought and it's an interesting anomaly.  It's
related to the OP too (no less so than the one before it than any
other to the one before it): 'Why?' is pretty open-ended.

D'Aprano pointed out an ambiguity in the 'in' operator, which sparked
an idea that contributes to some other threads.  I thought Booth and
Bossy, "homogeneous ... add+remove" pretty well summed it up.  That's
my mistake for showing excitement to one thread that was actually
mostly prepared by another.  I'm in A.I. if that helps any.

I am puzzled by the failure on 'a in a' for a=[a].  >>> a== [a] also
fails.  Can we assume/surmise/deduce/infer it's intentional?
