Help decoding this deprecation

General Usage

Sorry, IMO, another complicate it evolution example.
How do I write the new correct form?

julia> contains(==, fieldnames(GMT.GMTgrid), Symbol("z"))
┌ Warning: `contains(eq::Function, itr, x)` is deprecated, use `any((y->begin
│             eq(y, x)
│         end), itr)` instead.
│   caller = top-level scope
└ @ Core :0
true

julia> any((y->begin == end), fieldnames(GMT.GMTgrid), Symbol("z"))

julia> any(equalto(:b), fieldnames(Foo))
false

Thanks, though that is not what the deprecation message points as to.

It is basically telling you to use:

julia> any(y -> y == :z, fieldnames(Foo))
true

Slightly off-topic: an interesting possibility is this PR who would allow to create these currified functions with underscores, so this would become:

julia> any(_ == :z, fieldnames(Foo))
true

which IMO is more elegant than a specialized currified version equalto

From what I understood, this didn’t make it for Julia 0.7 but will be part of a future release.
