Idea: Apply function to every element of a sequence and return new sequence. It's more pythonic than map(), because clearly works only as a list method.
It's less Pythonic, because every sequence-like type (not just list) would have to reimplement it.
Similar things get proposed for iterators (e.g. it1 + it2, it[:n], it[n:]) regularly and they are (and should be) rejected for the same reason.
