Though I do not have an answer for you, I do occasionally feel the need
(ehm, need is a bit too strong a word) for
some-kind-of-collection-comprehensions too. Also, GHC has the
parallel array extension which adds array-comprehensions;
although I think it's impossible to fit in haskell 98, it would
be nice to have some general mechanism on which
"collection-comprehensions" (and enumerations: [1..5], [:1..5:], ...)
could be based.

Groetjes,
