I'm trying to build an expression tree (still) but getting further! I need to create a BinaryExpression to perform an 'In' comparison between a Member and a collection of items. Hence, the expression should return true if the member is contained within the items.

This obviously does not exist:

Expression.MakeBinary(ExpressionType.In, memberExpression, constantExpression);

constantExpression is a ConstantExpression of type IEnumerable while memberExpression is a MemberExpression of type T.

How would I create such an expression?
