+12. There are two new expansion conditions that iterate over a list. They are
+ called forany and forall, and they are used like this:
+
+ ${if forany{<a list>}{<a condition>}{<yes-string>}{<no-string>}}
+ ${if forall{<a list>}{<a condition>}{<yes-string>}{<no-string>}}
+
+ The first argument is expanded, and the result is treated as a list. By
+ default, the list separator is a colon, but it can be changed by the normal
+ method. The second argument is interpreted as a condition that is to be
+ applied to each item in the list in turn. During the interpretation of the
+ condition, the current list item is placed in a variable called $item.
+
+ - For forany, interpretation stops if the condition is true for any item,
+ and the yes-string is then expanded. If the condition is false for all
+ items in the list, the no-string is expanded.
+
+ - For forall, interpration stops if the condition is false for any item,
+ and the no-string is then expanded. If the condition is true for all
+ items in the list, the yes-string is expanded.
+
+ Note that negation of forany means that the condition must be false for all
+ items for the overall condition to succeed, and negation of forall means
+ that the condition must be false for at least one item.
+
+ In this example, the list separator is changed to a comma:
+
+ ${if forany{<, $recipients}{match{$item}{^user3@}}{yes}{no}}
+
+ Outside a forany/forall condition, the value of $item is an empty string.
+ Its value is saved and restored while forany/forall is being processed, to
+ enable these expansion items to be nested.
