Feature request: _.matches accepting an array as the argument, or multiple arguments

[afanasy]

So it's possible to filter by multiple values of the same key:

_.matches([{name: 'Bob'}, {name: 'Alice'}])
//matches both {name: 'Bob'} and {name: 'Alice'}

//and this syntax would be nice to have too :)
_.matches({name: 'Bob'}, {name: 'Alice'})
//matches both {name: 'Bob'} and {name: 'Alice'}

I would sooner have a anyPass and allPass which call each function in an array with provided arguments

Then we could do

var isBobOrAlice = _.partial(_.anyPass, _.map([{name: 'Bob'}, {name: 'Alice'}], _.matches));

isBobOrAlice({name: 'Bob'})

This looks good too, but I wanted to use _.where in the same manner:

_.where(person, [{name: 'Bob'}, {name: 'Alice'}])

returns array with Bob and Alice
and the new syntax is backward compatible as far as I can see, it just adds the special handling case if argument is an array

[jashkenas]

Yeah, anyPass and allPass would be better than this. If you want boolean logic, just use it!

_.matches(a) or _.matches(b)

_.matches(a) and _.matches(b) and not _.matches(c)
