Executing boolean expressions on a list

[Shawn Pearce]

>From lists.erl:

   625  all(Pred, [Hd|Tail]) ->
   626      case Pred(Hd) of
   627      true -> all(Pred, Tail);
   628      false -> false
   629      end;
   630  all(_, []) -> true.

It would seem that the Erlang masters implemented it exactly
as I have.  At these few points in my code, I'd rather not
do the remote function call + fun call, but lists:all/2 does
what I want.  :-)

Maybe I'll change my code.  Thanks Peter.
