I'd like it, and my reason isn't "just to save typing". There are two reasons.
1 Some bit of my brain is convinced that [x in stuff if condition] is the Right Syntax and keeps making me type it even though I know it doesn't work.
2 Seeing [x for x in stuff if condition] triggers my internal duplicated-stuff alarm, and it's distracting, in the same sort of way as it's distracting in C or C++ seeing
The full syntax is:
[ f(x) for x in seq if pred(x) ]
being allowed to write 'x' instead of 'identity(x)' is already a shortcut, just as dropping the conditional part.
Remember we're doing set theory stuff here. IMHO we should follow its notation conventions as much as we can.
