Er, excuse me, but that had better *not* be equivalent to
> # (2) for clarity, we'll add some optional parentheses:
> B(y) for y in (A(x) for x in myIterable)
because the former ought to be a single iterator expression
with two nested loops (albeit an erroneous one, since x
is being used before it's bound).
