Yes, Ted Z. pointed out to me that, as the name of this construct,
"every" has ambiguity and synonym issues. Other possibilities are:
select(@values) < one(3..7)
those(@values) < one(3..7)
whichever(@values) < one(3..7)
itemize(@values) < one(3..7)
extract(@values) < one(3..7)
...of which, only C<select> really seems a good alternative.
Any other suggestions most welcome!
My suggestion is, of course, to move it to the operator:
@values G< one(3..7)
which has a pleasing (to my mind) symmetry with Perl6-isms such as
@values X* 2
Failing that, perhaps C<filter> might work (though I always find myself
wanting to qualify a filter as either filter-in or filter-out).
