Python list comprehensions in Rust
#![feature(macro_rules)]
/// MIT license etc. etc.
///
/// Experimenting with Python-like list comprehensions.
///
/// An attempt to explore the possibility space for ergonomic improvements
/// in Rust that can come post v1.0. Notice that there are not type declerations.
/// Aside from the "c!" macro invocation, Rust allows for an exact copy of the
/// Python comprehension syntax.
///
/// This should probably work on slices. Something to look forward to.
