std::any_of Is the most important function added to C++
summary
Example shows a vector and predicate passed to std::any_of and a one‑line template implementation, then argues that countless ad hoc loops that return a boolean collapse to this single operation. Argues a 90/10 rule for day‑to‑day code, issues a concrete challenge to convert loops that return booleans, and points out standardizing any_of was a tiny "More algorithms" paper by Matt — a nudge to propose a standard algorithm when a pattern repeats.
