Thanks for the updates, especially the new Appendix B that walks
through the comprehension scoping cases with worked examples.

I've submitted a couple of minor PRs, but this version of the PEP
looks solid to me, and makes the case for change well (I'm still only
a +0 personally, but I can also see myself some day saying "Yeah, that
turned out to be worth it in the long run")

Cheers,
Nick.
