Na, Haskell's creators adapted them from the older SETL language, who
in turn were inspired by set theory's so-called Axiom of Comprehension
(which is why they're called "comprehensions" to begin with).

Of course that doesn't detract from your point that the OP would class
them as academics <wink>.
