Re: [RFC] Global functions any() and all() on iterables

I'd also feel like iter_any() could get confused with iterator_apply() for Traversable in terms of whether it's shorthand for iterator or iterable when learning the language. There's been more discussion than I expected on this, arguments for both options, and I'm not sure what the overall sentiment of voters is. I was considering creating a straw poll on the wiki with 2 questions to guide the final version of the RFC/PR: 1. Name choice (iterator_all(), iter_all(), or all(), or no interest in adding the functionality) 2. Interest in future RFCs to extend support to keys and entries Thanks, - Tyson
