I just had something pointed out to me in #python that min and max accept *args, I know for a fact that any and all only use a single iterable password.
Shouldn't we allow either one of the two ideas?

any(True, False, True)

all(False, True, True)

max(1,2,3,4)

min(1,2,3,4)

sum(1,2,3,4)

list(1,2,3,4)

set(1,2,3,4)

TOOWTDI would mean to allow only one argument in all of the above. Currently only max/min break the rule.

I'm +1 for making python consistent. And specifically would be +0 for allowing it all.

Btw even enumerate could have been a candidate though it already has a second argument.
