  Sample input:
All ( PortalView :: Whatzit ; PoltalView :: Tally ; "main" )
where the portal displays under the Whatzit title the values "main" "main" "main" "former"
  Sample output:
0 (that is to say, false)

  Function definition: (Copy & paste into FileMaker's Edit Custom Function window)

With an intuitive identity, this function evaluates a collection of related records (for instance through a portal) to determine if all of those records meet a specified criterion on the specified related record field and returns "true" for the whole collection of related records if every related record matches and "false" for the whole collection of related records if even one does not match.
