Simplifying multiple "or" conditions in if statement.

[rhubarbpieguy]

If you want to check if any of the names is in the string, you can write it more compact:

any(name in s for name in ('Bob', 'Ed'))

Wonderful.  I knew I could use a loop but was looking for something more compact.  However, I don't see the need for "any."  The following seems to work:

(name in s for name in ('Bob', 'Ed'))

Is there an advantage to using "any" I'm not seeing.  I understand using "all" if that's required.
