Sure, I was referring to your suggestion of adding features to see how they 
pan out and then removing them, not any particular feature.

list comprehensions don't do anything useful over map & friends but make 
them look better. They are super handsome in python in combination with 
tuples. So my point was, if you go for list comprehensions as a sweetener,  
you really should have some tuples with them too.
