If you want to give the Cobra coder more ways to call .contains, I think the best option is to make extension methods. For example, see http://cobra-language.com/trac/cobra/wiki/StandardLibraryExtensionMethods

Creating another class isn't the best because "Dict" performs the same task as Dictionary.

Also I don't think Cobra properly handles test blocks in generic classes. Ex: try testing this -
class X<of T>
test
assert false

That's true. The workaround that I currently use is to create another class with a test section:
class X<of T>

pass

class XTest

test
assert false

According to MSDN, the Dictionary class already has an extension method for Contains: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/xfhwa508.aspx in the System.Linq namespace but I couldn't get it to work. Still, regardless of how it's ultimately implemented, after seeing the syntax, I think I only like .contains(key, value) and am not a fan of .contains(key).

Oh, haha, currently only Cobra extensions work in Cobra. C# extensions (ie. LINQ) do not work yet.
