RCR 152: all() and any() like in Perl6

This is a legacy RCR from Ruby Garden, submitted by anonymous. Matz has declared these RCRs obsolete, and asked that their authors resubmit them in the new format.

I'd like Ruby to have built in 'all' and 'any' methods like those planned for Perl6.
These allow you things like:

    puts "something" if any(2,5,8) == 3<br>

or:

    if all(x,y,z) 

A possible implementation like this should go to Kernel:

class All

    def initialize(ary)<br>
        @ary = ary<br>
    end<br>

    def ==(*ary)<br>
        @ary.each{|i|<br>
            ary.each{|j|<br>

return false unless i == j

            }<br>
        }<br>
        return true<br>
    end<br>

    def 
        @ary.each{|i|<br>
            ary.each{|j|<br>

return false if i> j

            }<br>
        }<br>
        return true<br>
    end<br>

    def&amp;gt;(*ary)<br>
        @ary.each{|i|<br>
            ary.each{|j|<br>

return false if i

            }<br>
        }<br>
        return true<br>
    end<br>

end
def all(*ary)

    return All.new(ary)<br>

end

  puts "something" if [2,5,8].any? { |x| x == 3 }

  if [x,y,z].all?
