With respect, I have searched prior conversations and have not found a justification for why any? is in clojure.core rather than clojure.spec.
All the problems people have raised with any? are due to it be a predicate with a very specific use-case (defining specs) but placed in a namespace where it masquerades as general purpose. In clojure.spec any? could have a docstring documenting its intent for speccing which would be a great help for new folks. With a terse, general purpose docstring in clojure.core it leads to confusion, semantic mismatches and becomes yet another "gotcha" for new Clojure developers. I understand that there are more constraints in the development of the language and its core libraries than we are exposed to, and that this conversation is frustrating for you, but please take note that the Clojure community is trying hard to collaborate on this issue.
