That's not natural at all because if it worked that way, another user
would complain about 'in's inconsistency between associative arrays and
arrays: keys vs. values.

That help is not very useful but it escapes any criticism because of the
clever user of the word "perhaps". Yes, std.algorithm.find could be used
but the correct function to use in this case is std.algorithm.canFind.
