What if Array had a contains or containsAll functions?
var s = "Maria, Mariana";
var a = s.split(/\s*,\s*/);
["Maria", "Mariana"].every(e=>{return a.indexOf(e)!=-1});
true
But a `contains` function might be better than indexOf
["Maria", "Mariana"].every(e=>{return a.contains(e)});
But `containsAll` might be even better.
a.containsAll(["Maria", "Mariana"]) seems even easier to read for me.
There is already `filter` for exclusions. What about merging arrays?
Array.union(array2, array3, ...);
