I agree it is a bad surprise to rediscover that OR is not a
function, it happens to me rather often.
These days I rely on things like:
(some #'<predicate> <sequence>)
whenever I feel like doing
(reduce #'or (mapcar #'<predicate> <sequence>))
I hope that is more or less what you need. (The <predicate>s need
not be the same, needless is to say the example above is not a
mechanical equivalence.)
