It's called TransformListComp because the "then f" syntax transforms a
list using f (which has type [a] -> [a]) - not because the
implementation works by transformation or anything like that! We
considered but rejected GeneralizedListComp because it's too vague -
what if someone comes up with another list comprehension
generalisation in the future?
