title: CoffeeScript String Comparison
body: <p>In CoffeeScript, is there a way to simplify the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>if(value === "something" || value === "else" || value === "wow"){}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've tried:</p>
  
  <pre><code>if value is "something" or "else" or "wow"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But this produces the literal output of this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>if(value === "something" || "else" || "wow){}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>Is there a way to check if a string is one of multiple values (OR or AND) in CoffeeScript?</strong></p>
