I don't like list comprehension when compared to Smalltalk code blocks,
so I was really looking for a way to keep any additional 'comprehension'
variants limited to one syntax rule. But it seems as if the current
trend in Python is toward succinctness. To paraphrase one poster: 'It is
documented, therefor it is explicit'. I try to keep quiet, enjoy the
parts of Python I like and wait for the tide to turn.
