Check for members in Ruby

Ruby's Enumerable class has a member? method that returns a boolean.

For arrays, the method checks if the supplied value is included (similar to ['a'].include?('a')):

[:a, :b].member?(:b) # => true
[:a, :b].member?(:c) # => false

For hashes, the method checks if the supplied value is included in the keys for the hash:

{ a: 'b' }.member?(:a) # => true
{ a: 'b' }.member?(:c) # => false
