summary:
Minor editorial clean ups:
- conform the headers
- `standard' paragraph wrapping (i.e. how the Editor's editor
wraps 'em :)
- move the URL for the patch to the (new) References section
- added reference to PEP 201
Tim, should this be marked Accepted now?

The Proposed Solution
- It is proposed to allow conditional construction of list literals using
- for and if clauses. They would nest in the same way for loops and if

Rationale
List comprehensions provide a more concise way to create lists in
- situations where map() and filter() and/or nested loops would currently
- be used.

Stability of the Implementation
- The current reference implementation is simply an adaptation of Greg

- is. It has not had a lot of exercise, though the patch does include
