Well better in what way? You now have to translate a predicate
expression into a predicate function. Which AFAIU was one of
the reasons to move away from map/filter to list comprehension.

As I understand it, python made a move away from map and filter
towards list comprehension. Chris seems to want some of the
possibilities that came with that incorporated into the for
statement. And your suggestion is to go back to the old kind
of filter way.
