return first element in list with certain property

[Emanuel Berg]

What is considered the right way to return the
first element in list that has
a certain property?

The best way I've found so far is `cl-some' and
then `and'. While I don't consider the
"`and' hack" to be detrimental in any way I was
curious if there was a complete
"hack free" way...

Example: get the first element that is bigger
than 1:

    (cl-some (lambda (e) (and (> e 1) e)) '(1 1 3 1 4 2)) ; 3
