The "any" function is just like any other function taking an arbitrary list of arguments (including user-defined functions). As such it parses with lower precedence than comparison operators -- so "eq" binds more tightly than "any". Thus say so any <a b c> eq any <c d>; parses like say(so(any(<a b c> eq any(<c d>)))); which is indeed False. I'm not exactly sure what sort of warning should go here, or how it'd be detected. But perhaps others have ideas.
