XML Considered Harmful

[Avi Gross]

I think that to make electricity comprehend, you need a room temperature
superconductor. The Cooper Pairs took a while to comprehend but now ...

I think, seriously, we have established the problems with guessing that
others are using the language in a way we assume. 

So how many comprehensions does Python have?

[] - list comprehension
{} - dictionary OR set comprehension
() - generator expression

Tuples are incomprehensible and I wonder if any other comprehensions might
make sense to add, albeit we may need new symbols.

If you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more
like prunes than rhubarb does.
