Guido:
but perhaps we can make this work:
sum(x for x in S)
But if "x for x in S" were a legal expression on its own, returning a generator, then [x for x in S] would have to be a 1-element list containing a generator. Unless you're suggesting that it should be a special feature of the function call syntax? That would be bizarre...
