[issue20402] List comprehensions should be noted in for loop documentation

[Rob Lanphier]

New submission from Rob Lanphier:

The current list comprehension documentation is difficult to find for someone who doesn't know what a list comprehension is.  Example of this problem:
http://www.reddit.com/r/learnprogramming/comments/1w6slm/different_kind_of_for_loop_python/

Since list comprehensions are a riff off of "for" loop syntax, they should at least be noted and linked to from section 4.2 ("for statements" section) and quite possibly 5.6 ("Looping constructs")
