True, but a comprehension can be more expressive than a less "functional" expression (series of statements). James, can you provide (a) a real world example where you needed to write a series of statements or loops and (b) a corresponding example of how you would have preferred to have written that code, possibly inventing some syntax or misusing ":=" as if it workeed they way you'd like it to work?
