Yes, that's exactly the sort of thing I meant. For some reason, I have
built some intuition of list comprehensions as always being one to
one. Now, the one place I should have looked that I didn't was the
Python tutorial, which I thought I was done with by now. The clarity
of hindsight is a bitch. :-) Thanks.
