I think you could probably get away without the .kv there since, in a
list context you're going to get a list of pairs anyway.
In fact, the code is invalid as it stands. The following variations

If the syntax for passing "it" to a sub

you are probably right that "it" won't

Let's table discussion of the details for a few days until we get the
