Here's an alternate suggestion.  Instead of inventing new syntax, why not
change the semantics of list comprehensions to be lazy?  They haven't been
in use that long, and while they are popular, the semantic tweakage would
probably cause minimal disruption.  In situations where laziness wasn't
wanted, the most that a particular use would have to change (I think) is to
pass it to list().
