Aside from other concerns expressed elsewhere by other people, 
do you really like this? I know and agree that “readability” is 
a subjective term, but it is my firm persuasion that whenever 
I need to think about what particular list comprehension means, 
it is the moment I should write a separate function or normal 
cycle. I think we should encourage writing simple (I didn’t use 
the r* word here, you see!) code than something which has 
potential to slide us towards Perl.

Best,

Matěj
