As I understand it, there's an ambiguity issue with SOME/ANY, but not
with EVERY. If so, can we implement EVERY per-spec at least? It's okay
if we just add EVERY as an alias for BOOL_AND for the sake of homogeneity.

A few trivial points:

This comment is misleading if we don't actually provide an
implementation of EVERY that conforms to spec. There's a similar comment
WRT to SOME/ANY.

Not needed for builtin functions (they are assumed to be V1).

Seems these questions should be removed, no?
