I often find myself checking if some value belongs to some set. As I understand, people normally use Enumerable#member? for this.

end_index = ['.', ','].member?(word[-1]) ? -3 : -2

end_index = word[-1].is_in?('.', ',') ? -3 : -2

but I fail to find such method. Does it even exist? If not, any ideas as to why?

    Not in ruby but in ActiveSupport:

    characters = ["Konata", "Kagami", "Tsukasa"]
    "Konata".in?(characters) # => true
