Does Maple have a command for return true or false when querying set membership of an element?

I have sets of random integers, Stuff[k], indexed by k, for example

Stuff[9]:={2,5,6}:

I need to be able to test if

7 is a member of Stuff[9]: // I should get false

5 is a member of Stuff[9]: // I should get true

There is no such set membership function listed in the Help menu.

I finally figured out a for loop for sequentially removing one set from another (set-theoretic subtraction).

Too bad it is not possible to cut and paste code into these Maple Primes forum boxes: I would show it.

Thank you for help.
