The regular map+filter is still available by not using the `as` keyword
(or by not calling F). Thus when what you really wanted is two maps, you
need to use two comprehensions. The number of maps should == The number
of comprehension; currently it is not always possible to do so, when the
assumed map and filter ordering doesn't match our required ordering.
