[swift-evolution] [Pitch] Add an all algorithm to Sequence

[Ricardo Parada]

I think the problem would be that if you want to use it with a trailing closure then it becomes misleading:

nums.contains { $0 % 2 == 0 }

We could follow the example of 'filter(_ isIncluded:)', which has a in internal parameter name for documentation, but takes no parameter at the call site; this might look like 'all(_ predicate:)'. Or we could follow the example of 'drop(while:)' and do 'all(test:)'. (And with trailing closure syntax, this would simply become 'all' (e.g.  'let readyToGo = collection.all { $0.isReady }'.
