Re: Re: Straw poll: Naming for `*any()` and `*all()` on iterables

Hi Mark Randall, > These functions make sense.

This also wouldn't help if I wanted something that could be used on any Traversable. Currently, there's no support for default methods for interfaces such as Iterator/IteratorAggregate - I think I saw some discussion of that. (e.g. to check for any()/all() on generators, user-defined classes, etc) Backwards compatibility of method signatures with the same names that were written before default methods were added would be a concern, though.
