`include_an_object` Matcher

Use the include_an_object matcher to specify that a collection's objects include_an_object pass an expected matcher.
This works on include_an_object enumerable object.

  expect([1, 4, 5]).to include_an_object( be_odd )
  expect([1, 3, 'a']).to include_an_object( be_an(Integer) )
  expect([1, 3, 11]).to include_an_object( be < 10 )

The matcher also supports compound matchers:

  expect([1, 'a', 11]).to include_an_object( be_odd.and be < 10 )
Background
Given
I use a fixture named "cli-app"
Scenarios
Array usage
Given
a file named "spec/array_include_an_object_matcher_spec.rb" with: 
require 'spec_helper'

RSpec.describe [1, 4, 'a', 11] do
  it { is_expected.to include_an_object( be_odd ) }
  it { is_expected.to include_an_object( be_an(Integer) ) }
  it { is_expected.to include_an_object( be < 10 ) }
  it { is_expected.not_to include_an_object( eq 'b' ) }
end

RSpec.describe [14, 'a'] do
  it { is_expected.to include_an_object( be_odd ) }
  it { is_expected.to include_an_object( be_an(Symbol) ) }
  it { is_expected.to include_an_object( be < 10 ) }
  it { is_expected.not_to include_an_object( eq 'a' ) }
end
When
I run rspec
Then
the output should contain all of these lines:
8 examples, 4 failures
expected [14, "a"] to include an object be odd
expected [14, "a"] to include an object be a kind of Symbol
expected [14, "a"] to include an object be < 10
expected [14, "a"] not to include an object eq "a"
Compound Matcher Usage
Given
a file named "spec/compound_include_an_object_matcher_spec.rb" with: 
require 'spec_helper'

RSpec.describe [1, 'anything', 'something'] do
  it { is_expected.to include_an_object( be_a(String).and include("thing") ) }
  it { is_expected.to include_an_object( be_a(String).and end_with("g") ) }
  it { is_expected.to include_an_object( start_with("s").or include("y") ) }
  it { is_expected.not_to include_an_object( start_with("b").or include("b") ) }
end

RSpec.describe ['anything', 'something'] do
  it { is_expected.to include_an_object( be_a(Integer).and include("thing") ) }
  it { is_expected.to include_an_object( be_a(Integer).and end_with("z") ) }
  it { is_expected.to include_an_object( start_with("z").or include("1") ) }
  it { is_expected.not_to include_an_object( start_with("a").or include("some") ) }
end
When
I run rspec
Then
the output should contain all of these lines:
8 examples, 4 failures
expected ["anything", "something"] to include an object be a kind of Integer and include "thing"
expected ["anything", "something"] to include an object be a kind of Integer and end with "z"
expected ["anything", "something"] to include an object start with "z" or include "1"
