FWIW, I was not aware of `any?` when I read this thread, and I found its semantics confusing -- I think `anything?` would be much clearer. `anything?` also seems more obviously useful for defining specs (e.g. a function can take _anything_ as an argument). It seems usual in Clojure for scalar predicates such as int?, string?, rational? etc to have noun or adjective names, and collection predicates such as every? to have determiners such as every, some, any as names.
