Sure, what your used to has a huge effect on what you expect. But I've done 
very little with python whereas I've done a lot with C++, so my expectations 
are strongly influenced by C++ but aren't influenced by python at all. I didn't 
even know that python _had_ an in operator. But when you're dealing with 
people from a variety of backgrounds, you're invariably going to end up making 
choices that fit what one set of people expects but confounds another.
