That's definitely an example of something that depends on your background. std.algorithm.any does _exactly_ what it would do in a functional language. How intuitive an API is depends a lot on how much the person writing the API thinks like you.
That is amusing. I've been writing a bunch of range/algorithm code myself lately, and I find it's a struggle because it is simply not how I think about code. I think in terms of C style loops, and solutions just pop out of my fingers on the keyboard. With ranges, I have to forcibly think in a different way, it's a lot like transitioning from walking to using a snowboard.
