That was suggested as an alternative in the original discussion of this idea,
but a patch was not forthcoming.

In my opinion this is potentially a good solution *as long as* no other
maintainers object.

If implemented we should document it in the spec but _not_ include it in any
way in the default configuration file. There are already many ways new users
can shoot themselves below the kneew, we should not be encouraging them to put
the barrel against their temple :)

Those operators would be:

forall{<a list>}{<a condition>}
forany{<a list>}{<a condition>}
