This is really ugly. Except `__init__()` it's always a code smell if you
call a "magic" method directly instead of using the corresponding
syntactic sugar or built in function. And using a list comprehension just
for side effects is misleading because the reader expects a (useful) list
to be build when stumbling over a list comp and it's wasteful because an
unnecessary list of `None`\s is build and thrown away for no reason other
than to have a one liner. This is not Perl! ;-)
