Oracle: '= ANY()' vs. 'IN ()'

Question

I just stumbled upon something in ORACLE SQL (not sure if it\'s in others), that I am curious about. I am asking here as a wiki, since it\'s hard to try to search symbols in

A quick google found this http://theopensourcery.com/sqlanysomeall.htm

Any allows you to use an operator other than = , in most other respect (special cases for nulls) it acts like IN. You can think of IN as ANY with the = operator.
