I appreciate all your comments and input :-) Since I'm still new-ish to
Python (only a few months, but not new to programming in general) I of
course am not the best source of a strict technical design for such a
feature. I am however wondering how something like this ever "advances"
from a little idea to something more material and eventually a feature of
the language. Do we all just sit here with our thinking caps on for awhile?

It is not even use such non-functional paradigm as a for loop.
Awesome! My pathetic first attempt merely yielded something that no Real Programmer would ever use.
