+## Foreach `break` and `continue`
+
+`break` and `continue` keywords can be used inside foreach loops.
+
+```meson
+items = ['a', 'continue', 'b', 'break', 'c']
+result = []
+foreach i : items
+  if i == 'continue'
+    continue
+  elif i == 'break'
+    break
+  endif
+  result += i
+endforeach
+# result is ['a', 'b']
+```
+
+You can check if an array contains an element like this:
+```meson
+my_array = [1, 2]
+if 1 in my_array
+# This condition is true
+endif
+if 1 not in my_array
+# This condition is false
+endif
+```
+
+You can check if a dictionary contains a key like this:
+```meson
+my_dict = {'foo': 42, 'foo': 43}
+if 'foo' in my_dict
+# This condition is true
+endif
+if 42 in my_dict
+# This condition is false
+endif
+if 'foo' not in my_dict
+# This condition is false
+endif
+```
