[Python-ideas] Re: Start argument for itertools.accumulate() [Was: Proposal: A Reduce-Map Comprehension and a "last" builtin]

I think It's quite obviously trying to bias the reader against the proposal by presenting a senseless example ;-) Assuming there's any real reason to write that code at all, a better question is whether it's more comprehensible than accumulate(itertools.chain([6], range(4, 6)), operator.mul) https://www.windowsmoviemaker.xyz/
