1.7.22 CQL: Compile time in-list constraint

If your list is bound at compile-time, you can simply use it as the attribute value in CQL, for example:

{[], se_lt_x :: [a-['ELSTON_M', 'LILLEY_N']]}

This does not require the list to be ground, merely bound. For example, this is not precluded:

foo(V1, V2):-
    {[], se_lt_x :: [a-[V1, V2]]}.

If, however, your list is not bound at compile-time, you must wrap the variable in list/1:

Bar = [a,b,c],
{[], se_lt_x :: [bar-list(Bar)]}

If you write

foo(V1):-
    {[], se_lt_x :: [a-V1]}.

and at runtime call foo([value1]), you will get a type error.

Remember: If the list of IN values is empty then no restriction is generated i.e.

{[], se_lt_x :: [a-[], b-B}

is the exactly the same as

{[], se_lt_x :: [b-B}
