Though am I correct that your iteration tests for equality, while
mine tests for identity?  Also, my version bails early in the event
quitting early is possible.  That's particularly useful in the case
of doing something like

  if all(x() is None for x in [func1, func2, func3, costly_func]):
    do_something()
