A bigger question is why this is needed at all.

Why not just use composition?  In guava, one would do this:

        Iterables.all(Arrays.asList(foo), new Predicate<Double>() {
            @Override
            public boolean apply(Double input) {
                return input != null;
            }
        });

Surely the same is already possible with commons.
