list comprehensions to effect visitors

[Bruce Eckel]

Because of the way the Python implementation of the book (this is
"Thinking in Patterns", translated) is going, I'm now thinking that
it might make more sense to build the book in Python first, then
translate it back into Java. For some reason (grin) it seems to be
much easier to work out the ideas and designs using Python... :-)

Not sure when I'll have the initial posting of the book, though.
