Yes, I understand how anyOf is used, but it means that you can't nest Apply
blocks that have functions that expect single values. Ie, in the example
you give

I know that there was one match to the value "Hello World" but I don't get
back that value, I get a boolean value instead. If I have an add function that
is inside of a floor function (for instance), I can't use anyOf to somehow
make sure that bags with only one value get handled correctly by the
functions, since I want to need to have the add function return a number,
not a boolean. The comment in the change request was that anyOf can somehow
be used to solve this, and my point is that it cannot.
