I'm assuming he meant the best-practices document would be
documenting how to do that *right*!

BTW, something I had in mind for the list comprehension
syntax back when it was being developed, but didn't
get around to pursuing, was letting you say

   [0 times n]

or for multidimensional arrays

   [[0 times m] times n]

etc. Not sure if the use cases are frequent enough to
justify it, though.
