Check if element is in the list (contains)

Question

I\'ve got a list of elements, say, integers and I want to check if my variable (another integer) is one of the elements from the list. In python I\'d do:

my_list

They really should add a wrapper. Like this:

namespace std
{
    template inline
        bool contains(_container _C, const _Ty& _Val)
        {return std::find(_C.begin(), _C.end(), _Val) != _C.end(); }
};
...
    if( std::contains(my_container, what_to_find) )
    {

    }
