I suspect you're right, but I certainly wouldn't complain if list comps 
disappeared. TOOWTDI and all, and I often find myself alternating 
between the two when I can't decide which one seems more Pythonic. 
(These days I generally write a listcomp, but I wouldn't put any money 
on my code being entirely consistent about this...)
