Doctrine 2 ArrayCollection filter method

Doctrine now has Criteria which offers a single API for filtering collections with SQL and in PHP, depending on the context.

Update

This will achieve the result in the accepted answer, without getting everything from the database.

use Doctrine\Common\Collections\Criteria;

/**
 * @ORM\Entity
 */
class Member {
  // ...
  public function getCommentsFiltered($ids) {
    $criteria = Criteria::create()->where(Criteria::expr()->in("id", $ids));

    return $this->getComments()->matching($criteria); 
  }
}
