I was going to disagree with you, but maybe you are right. Lists are
very special (IMO), but we could live without the special [] syntax.

But I guess we will agree to have some kind of special syntax for list
comprehensions, be it []-comprehensions or monad comprehensions.

PS. Lisp people are laughing at us, but I don't care ;-)
