Based on the comments received this morning, I've updated the PEP.
The changes are:
- Added Skip Montanaro's version of xfilter and xmap which avoid the use of
lambda.
- Added reference to Python Cookbook version of xmap and stated why it was
not used.
- Discussed Pete Skinner's idea for making the argument to yield optional.
- Discussed why .submit() was used instead of overloading .next().
- Referenced a SourceForge proposal to "fix" list comprehensions so they
will have own scope.
- Added Michael Chermside's thoughts on the need for two-way parameter
passing.
- Fixed the embedded HTML title.
