Description

I have been working with ShortStrings.jl a bit lately.
It seems like it should not be required for in(::ShortString, ::SortedSet(String) to internally convert the ShortString to a String.
cmp is defined already between those types.

Research direction

Start by locating the SortedSet implementation and its in(::ShortString, ::SortedSet(String)) path, then inspect the existing cmp definitions between ShortString and String. Confirm the expected membership behavior and add coverage showing that a ShortString key can be checked in a SortedSet of Strings without an internal conversion.
