Refuse the temptation to hypergeneralize ;-)
Also refuse the temptation to double the size of the docs (more != better).
In the case of min/max, the pure python versions may add some value in showing that the first match is what is returned. But the code will also be a bit convoluted because it needs paths for key-argument case and for the screwy interpretation of 1 arg vs multiple args.
The pure python code is there for any() and all() to show the early out feature and to suggest how you could roll-your-own if you want different behavior (such as returning the value of the first exception).
