This is a very useful predicate, I happened to write it myself for
Mathematica just a few days ago.

Speaking of which -- at some point I want to do a thorough comparison
between Clojure and Mathematica, which in my opinion has some
absolutely top-notch higher-order functions. Just as an example:
FixedPoint[function, expression], which keeps applying a function to
expression until the result no longer changes. Using this simple
pattern one can do breadth-first tree traversal in essentially one
line of Mathematica code. Very very cool.
