And the increased cognitive burden in learning the language isn't
worth it. Write a nice custom reduction function (like sum, any, all,
min, max, etc) and feed it a generator expression.

If you really want to argue the point, please read the following first:

And maybe this one as well:

(I guess those links may be the kind of thing that was being asked for
recently when someone was wondering what kind of reaction to expect
when posting suggestions to this list)

Cheers,
Nick.
