I am trying to write CSDL which uses the twitter.mentions target, and am very confused. The examples given in the documentation say that the right way to do this is:
twitter.mentions == "@SomeHandle"
for single handles, and:
twitter.mentions in "@SomeHandle,@AnotherHandle"
if I wish to search for multiple handles.
Which confuses me on two fronts:
1) Why can't I use the 'in' operator for both cases?
2) twitter.mentions is an array, and the right side of both those expressions is a string; how can an array be equal to a string? Is there some sort of (completely undocumented, as far as I can find) implicit looping going on?

Great! How about adding something about that to your documentation?
Another question: I get that I can omit the @; am I required to omit the @?
I just checked. You are required to not put the @ symbol since the field is looking for exact username matches.
In case you're curious/would like to check yourself, I used this csdl to verify: https://datasift.com/essence/rljxiz
All responses that come through are tagged as "without". If the @ symbol could work, "with at" would have tagged the interactions.
Cool. Thanks again, and again, your doc needs work; something like "You must omit the @ sign" would be more appropriate than the current "You don't have to include the @ sign".
