Description

There are still several places in the API which take a Collection as input but could be much more useful if replaced with an Iterable.

Examples:

• many of the functor classes have a static factory method to add a collection of predicates:

   public static <T> Predicate<T> anyPredicate(final Collection<? extends Predicate<T>> predicates)
   
   should better be

   public static <T> Predicate<T> anyPredicate(final Iterable<? extends Predicate<T>> predicates) {

• CollectionUtils: forAllDo, collate, select ...
