That's true, but the main reason for having comprehensions
syntax in the first place is so that it can be read
declaratively -- as a description of the list you want,
rather than a step-by-step sequence of instructions for
building it up.

If you have to stop and mentally transform it into nested
for-statements, that very purpose is undermined.
