Actually i believe the NumPy 'any' and 'all' names pre-date the Python usage which first appeared in Python 2.5
I agree with Chris that namespaces are a great idea. I don't agree with deprecating 'any' and 'all' It also seems useful to revisit under what conditions 'array' could correctly interpret a generator expression, but in the context of streaming or deferred arrays.
