Note that the last x shouldn't have to be x.

[x in seq if f(x)]

is by far my most common syntax error, and

    [x for x in seq if f(x)]

is always what I want instead.

That 'x in seq' bit still shouts "containment" to me rather than iteration, though.

Perhaps repurposing 'from':

  (x from seq if f(x))

That rather breaks TOOWTDI though (since it is essentially new syntax for a for loop). And I have other hopes for the meaning of (x from ()). . .

Cheers,
Nick.
