Before I send generator comprehension portion to Guido for pronouncement, I would like to get all of your votes +1 or -1 on just the part about Generator Comprehensions.

I am very happy with the things you have proposed in this PEP. I feel quite positive about generator comprehensions and have no reservations. So a +1 on that.

I also think there is a lot of power to be gained from generator argument passing; i agree that the exception issue needs to be resolved and you have suggested a fine solution; and the extra built-ins (really 'indexed' in particular) i have wanted for a long time.

I have less of an opinion on restartability since i have not yet had to really run into that issue. It seems reasonable that it might be good idea, though perhaps YAGNI will apply here until i experience the need for it first-hand.
