[issue13112] backreferences in comprehensions

Hi,

You're proposing a change to the core language and syntax;  the bug-tracker's not really appropriate for this---it's better suited for small, focused changes (preferably with patches!).  I suggest that you start a thread on the python-ideas mailing list for wider discussion and consideration of possible alternative solutions to the problem you're trying to solve.  It's likely that a PEP and a working implementation would also be required to push this through.

I'm going to close this for now;  it can be reopened if the python-ideas discussion is positive.
