Do you know if there is an existing proposal for subtraction of iterables from lists and tuples? Any existing proposal would be listed in PEP 0 if it’s a PEP, on bugs.python.org if it doesn’t need a PEP, or in a current thread in this list’s archive if it hasn’t gotten that far. They’re all pretty easy to look up. If you’re looking for historical proposals that died out without every making it to PEP stage (which you should do if you’re consisting proposing it), you pretty much have to search the list archives.
I wasn't sure this would be an easy thing to find with search terms so thought I'd ask in the context of a similar proposal — in case someone remembers something. I'll do a search now though. :)
