I have to say, though, I was a little confused at first, because I'm
used to range objects not being lists. And trying it showed that the
syntax has been tightened up somewhere:

>>> [x for x in range(10),100]
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    [x for x in range(10),100]
                         ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

But in Python 2.7, it behaves as the OP describes. I wonder, does
python-ideas need a bit more clarification somewhere that this is
(almost) exclusively for the discussion of Python 3, as that's where
new ideas can actually be implemented?
