   > Code looks OK. I think we just need to consider whether we want a new method for this, or if existing ways to use the code for this are better alternatives (easier maintenance having less methods).
   > 
   > ```java
   > List<String> l = Arrays.asList("a", "b", "c", "");
   > 
   > boolean b = CollectionUtils.containsAny(l, new Object[] { null, "" }); // or
   > boolean b = IterableUtils.matchesAny(l, (e) -> e == null || "".equals(e));
   > ```
   > 
   > This is similar to [lang]'s `isAnyEmpty`, but instead of a chain of characters, we check the array of objects. But probably we don't want a `isAnyBlank` (`" "` is blank, not empty).
   > 
   > And this one would need a JIRA issue @arturobernalg but we can wait for others to chime in and take a look at the new code first before creating one if you'd like.
