Thank you. The tornado examples contain the following equivalence code 
for `results = yield multi(list_of_futures)`:

     results = []
     for future in list_of_futures:
         results.append(yield future)

Couldn't this by written as `results = [(yield future) for future in 
list_of_futures]`?
