"This kind of semantics"? What semantics did we have here except filtering
items before putting them in the sequence? How is that more list-y than
tuple-y? If I removed items *after* constructing the sequence, it'd be
list-y, but since I want to do it *before* the construction, I think it
doesn't make it list-y.

I used a tuple in this case because it's something that I wanted to stay
immutable.
