I noticed ticket #55--add parallel list comprehensions--which according to the ticket, will probably be adopted. I would argue against.

Can I second this? The only time I ever used a parallel list comprehension was by accident. I accidentally used '|' rather than ',' in a list comprehension and ended up with a bug that was quite hard to track down. Now one could argue that I could make a similar mistake with pretty much any language feature, but it's precisely because it's a rarely used language feature that it makes this problem worse because you're not looking for that kind of problem.
