I think it's a misconception that you are avoiding the for-loop. You move it
into [...] and declare it more elegant, but in reality you are creating a
throwaway list of None-s. You are adding cruft to your code.
That is not only superfluous, but also misleading. A simple for-loop like
for x in a, b, c:
del x[0]
on the other hand makes your intention crystal-clear.
