On the other hand, perhaps we should just have a general predicate for
this not-uncommon thing?  `equal-or-member'?  It would literally be

(defun equal-or-member (thing collection)
  (or (equal thing collection)
      (and (consp collection)
           (member thing collection))))

We have a lot of data structures that can be lists or atoms, so I think
it might be generally useful...
