You've already gotten good answers from others but, for the sake of one
more option, you could also accomplish this with `cl-loop' (which, of
course, some love and some hate).

It would end up looking something like:

(cl-loop for item in list
         thereis (your-predicate item))

If the predicate would be `(not (null item))', you can drop it entirely
(as you would expect):

(cl-loop for item in list thereis item)
