I think Ambrose is getting at what the original poster is after. I've written this a number of times, but seem to recall doing something like `(def any? (complement not-any?))`, though I'd need to go back and look.
`not-any?` is just `(comp not some)` under the covers, so I guess I'm not sure why `any?` would be out of bounds in core.
