Comprehensions with side effects feel scary indeed. But I could see
myself using some variant of the "cumsum" example (for scientific work
at the command prompt):

>>> x=0; [x:=x+i for i in range(5)]

Here the side effects are irrelevant, the "x" variable won't be reused.
But it needs to be initialized at the start of the comprehension.

I would happily get rid of the side-effects, but then what would be a
non-cryptic alternative to the above example?
