Can this be done consistently? For example consider x=[[]]. Then all(x)
where x is interpreted as an iterable should be False, but all(x) where x
is interpreted as a single argument should be True. This inconsistency
already exists for max:
>>> max({1, 2})
2
>>> max({1, 2}, {1})
set([1, 2])
However, it doesn't seem like there's a good reason to add an inconsistency
to the API for any/all.
