[Python-ideas] Making min and max behave more like any and all

[Jakob Bowyer]

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?

Either max/min take only iterable arguments.
OR
Allow any/all to use *args

In the second case this becomes legal

any(1 in a, 2 in b, 3 in c)

In the first case this becomes illegal
max(1,2,3,4,5)
