I know that haskell has such a function, and there were a number of complaints 
previously that we _didn't_ have an any function which does exactly what 
std.algorithm.any now does. It's a very functional approach to use predicates 
like that and I get the impression that it's common in other functional 
languages based on other's comments. The only one off the top of my head that I 
_know_ has such a function though is haskell.
