What do you do when more than one of those is used? I think it will  
muddy the use cases.

I'm just going to work on any="true" and call it a day (I can always  
tweak the code to do differently). This conversation was helpful.  
Ultimately as long as its implemented in a way that makes sense and it  
gets the necessary feature built I think it will be a success.
When it comes down to it I'm not on the core team so they'll decide.  
But I wanted to get the community involved in the idea first before I  
added it.

I certainly don't want to kill the conversation about this, but I want  
to start adding it in.
