Yes, Greg, you are correct. After I posted, I encountered a later message
that suggested it was list comprehensions that had accidentally left a

the resulting list, so it fixed eventually.

You live and learn till you don't.

Guido has publically stated that it was a deliberate design choice.
The merits of that design choice can be debated, but it wasn't a bug or an
accident.
