Having said that, the index of the Python docs could be
improved a bit
in this area -- currently it only mentions "list" under
"comprehension" (although the page it leads to discusses the other
types as well).

I am sure that this is because list comprehensions were once thr only
comprehensions and that the index was not updated when the syntax and
code was.  I opened issue 29981 "Update Index for set, dict, and
generator 'comprehensions'".

Thanks Terry. I does seem strange that there are so many types of
comprehensions, yet under 'comprehensions' in the Index, you only see
'list'. And there are no entries for the other types, by their names.

Does it seem... incomprehensible?
