I have more than once looked at the Reference TOC: Expressions
https://docs.python.org/3/reference/index.html
and wondered 'where are comprehensions?' (and a few other things).  I 
just opened Issue 29983: "Reference TOC: expand 'Atoms' and 
'Primaries'", https://bugs.python.org/issue29983, suggesting that

6.2. Atoms
6.3. Primaries

be expanded to

6.2. Atoms, including identifiers, literals, and comprehensions
6.3. Primaries: attributes, subscripts, slices, and calls

The 'primaries' list is complete.  The full 'atoms' list is too long so 
I picked what I thought might be the three most important and added 
'including' to indicate that this is a selection.

There might be opposition (or just +-0 indifference) from developers who 
are CS language theory wonks who have forgotten how obscure the terms 
'atom' and 'primary' are in this context.  So anyone supporting this 
should say so on the issue.

https://bugs.python.org/issue29981, adding index entries, should be 
routine, but at least one +1 would be helpful.
