I am completely with you on this one, Paul.

The statement about "cumbersomeness" was specific to this whole issue. 
Of course, importing feature-rich pieces from the stdlib is really cool. 
It was more the missed ability to do the same with list comprehensions 
of what is possible with list displays today. List displays feature * 
without importing anything fancy from the stdlib.

Nevermind, it seems we need to wait longer for this issue to come up 
again and maybe again to solve it eventually.

Best,
Sven
