 Create a function that checks whether its argument is [`in`](@ref) `x`, i.e.

 The returned function is of type `Base.Fix2{typeof(in)}`, which can be

+Determine whether an item is in the given sorted collection, in the sense that
+it is [`==`](@ref) to one of the values of the collection according to the order
+specified by the `by`, `lt` and `rev` keywords, assuming that `a` is already
+sorted in that order, see [`sort`](@ref) for the keywords. See also
+[`in`](@ref). Returns a `Bool` value.
