Apparently, following also works:


any(ss.map!(a => a > 127))   // as written by Marco de Wild
or
any(map!(a => a > 127)(ss))


Thanks for detailed explanations.
Philosophically, I personally think, there should be only one way 
to do such things since that will add to simplicity, as in C.
Apparently, smallness and simplicity of C contributed greatly to 
its success.
Only drawbacks of C, like its unsafe parts, should be removed and 
clearly advantages newer concepts should be added in a clearly 
defined manner.
Just thinking loudly!
