Test whether a list contains a specific value in Clojure

Question

What is the best way to test whether a list contains a given value in Clojure?

In particular, the behaviour of contains? is currently confusing me:

Answer 1

I've built upon j-g-faustus version of "list-contains?". It now takes any number of arguments.

(defn list-contains?
([collection value]
    (let [sequence (seq collection)]
        (if sequence (some #(= value %) sequence))))
([collection value & next]
    (if (list-contains? collection value) (apply list-contains? collection next))))
