This patch updates the reference manual documentation on list comprehensions to the fact that the first expression in a listcomprehension is a single expression, not a list (that is, if it's a tuple, it needs the parentheses.)

I'm not sure in what style the reference manual should be written; should it be as close to CPythons' Grammar/Grammar file as possible, or should it forgo the elaborate tricks that are sometimes necessary to work around the LL(1) parser's limitations ? The range-literals patch to the reference manual gets a lot more 'low-level', as a result of sticking close to the CPYthon grammar file. Should I keep it that way ?

Comment:
Reassigned to Fred, because it's a simple doc change.  Fred, accept this <wink> and check it in.  Note that the grammar has a bug, though, so this will need to be changed again (and so will the implementation).  That is, [x if 6] should not be a legal expression but the grammar allows it today.
