Hi all,

Currently, list.append(x) mutates the list and returns None.

It would be a little syntactic sugar to return x, for example:

    something = mylist.append(Something())

What do you think ?

Now you can do this (but it could be unpopular):     mylist.append(something := Something()) --Ned.
