This PR adds the existential and universal quantifier to a matcher expression.
The universal quantifier (
∀
,ALL
) requires that all fields (or subfields) must satisfy the given predicate. The following expressions matches only records, where for all fields065R
the predicate (there exists a subfield7
which is equal to"Tg1"
) evaluates totrue
.The universal quantifier can also be used in a subfield matcher expression:
