Constant combinators should have a special "everything" output that outputs a signal for every item, and decider combinators should have "everything" and "every input" as outputs, rather than "everything," which acts as "every input." This would bring their behavior more inline with the intuitive assumptions from their names, and allow for easier negations.

This is interesting, cause it turns many things upside down. But it cannot be reversed, cause the logic is mathematically not comparable.

The problem is, that a signal "everything", and/or something that emits a value for every possible signal is not the same as a check for "any" signal. If wanted I can explain this more detailed.


My question here is: Why do you need this? What is your use-case for this?


[PS: I would like to have that "everything" renamed to "any", cause that explains a bit better, why this is not working, but that's another story]
