This matches Array#some in JavaScript.

See also #81697 for the alias between "every" and "all".

Here is someone that was looking for "some": https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/add-some-function-to-iter/14902

I think we cannot accept new aliases right now, see #84474 (comment).

I understand that slippery slope, but I think this one may still be worth slipping in to pair with the alias on "all".

Hmm, I don't have a strong understanding/opinion here but I agree that this keeps consistency with #81697. Anyway I nominated the subject for the next t-libs meeting (rust-lang/libs-team#18) so someone from t-libs will handle this once it gets a consensus.

Revert "Add "every" as a doc alias for "all"."

This reverts commit 3545036 (rust-lang#81697) for "every" and closes rust-lang#86554 in kind for "some".

The new [doc alias policy](https://std-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/documentation/doc-alias-policy.html) is that we don't want language-specific aliases like these JavaScript names, and we especially don't want to conflict with real names. While "every" is okay in the latter regard, its natural pair "some" makes a doc-search collision with `Option::Some`.
