Question still stands if this type of code needs compaction in the
first place?<br>
<br>
List comprehensions usually have some sort of declarative touch (set
builder notation).<br>
<br>
Even though, striving for a more compacted version, I tend to think
that using a declarative version of it doesn't serve it well in the
long term.<br>
<br>

We recently came across the following code snippet in our source
base (1st answer of <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/480214/how-do-you-remove-duplicates-from-a-list-whilst-preserving-order">https://stackoverflow.com/questions/480214/how-do-you-remove-duplicates-from-a-list-whilst-preserving-order</a>).
It was absolutely not comprehensible.<br>
<br>
<br>
Your example is inherently imperative because the internal state
changes from iteration to iteration; something unusual for set
builder notation.<br>
