A shorthand for:

But I like your [*]. Hmm... I maybe able to adjust above to use [:*]

I feel your "every" much cleaner than [*]. 

I agree, visually, but I find both of the semantically opaque compared
to people.each {|person| ... }  I know that people.every could return
some kind of generator or enumerator, which could then be fed
"email_addr" symbolically... but it seems to conceal rather than
reveal what's going on.
