It does not shortcut, i.e. it creates the full list. For the rest, it
is a matter of personal opinion if this idea is considered cool or
an abuse of sum. I personally, will propend for the latter, but since 
we don't have yet an anytrue function in the library, for the moment it
can be tolered). Just my 0.02 E.
