paralleling "with:" vs "withAll:" and "add:" vs "addAll:", I'd vote
for the slightly clumsy #allIn: or #inAll:

Collection >> #inAll: aBlock
  aBlock #valueWithPossibleArgs: self

If #valueWithPossibleArgs: requires specifically an Array, there might
need to be one definition for arrays, and another for Collections
that call #asArray.
