Depending on your historical programming-language baggage, "i" is 
usually either an index or integer data, and since the source was 
a list of integers, "i" didn't seem inappropriate.  Same for 
other common data-types:

   [f for f in (1.1, 2.2, 3.3) if 2.0 <= f < 3.0]
   [s for s in ("cat", "hat", "mat") if "bat" < s < "fat"]
   [c for c in "hello, world!" if 'a' <= c <= 'z']
