if range in rangelist - google-apps-script

Question

Im trying to find if a range is in a rangeList and I saw somewhere something like the statement:
if ( myrange in myrangelist ) ...
I have tried to get this to work but cannot.
Does someone know if possible and if yes then how?

Perhaps this will help:
function isContainedInActiveRangeList(rgA1) {
var rgA1=rgA1||'B2';
var ss=SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var sh=ss.getActiveSheet();
var list=sh.getActiveRangeList();
var rgA=list.getRanges();
var fulllist=[];
for(var i=0;i<rgA.length;i++) {
var rvA=rgA[i].getValues();
var row=rgA[i].getRow();
var col=rgA[i].getColumn();
for(var j=0;j<rvA.length;j++) {
for(var k=0;k<rvA[j].length;k++) {
fulllist.push(sh.getRange(row+j,col+k).getA1Notation());
}
}
}
var trg=sh.getRange(rgA1);
var tvA=trg.getValues();
var trow=trg.getRow();
var tcol=trg.getColumn();
var cObj={ins:[],outs:[],fully:true,partially:false};
for(var i=0;i<tvA.length;i++) {
for(var j=0;j<tvA[i].length;j++) {
var a1=sh.getRange(trow+i,tcol+j).getA1Notation();
if(fulllist.indexOf(a1)>=0) {
cObj.ins.push(a1);
}else{
cObj.outs.push(a1);
}
}
}
if(cObj.ins.length>0) {
cObj.partially=true;
}
if(cObj.outs.length>0) {
cObj.fully=false;
}
Logger.log(cObj);
Logger.log(fulllist);
return (cObj.fully)?true:false;
}
