I don't see a contradiction. For example list comprehensions and unit testing 
module aren't random features, they are known to be quite useful.

Nope. Lazy/eager sequence comprehensions can be useful in many situations even 
if you don't have tuples.

Reduce is not intuitive. And a sequence comp is shorter and more readable (IF 
the syntax is really good) than most map/filter/xmap/xfilter.
