Can you point me to where in the docs it explains the semantic
difference between a generaor expression and a list comprehension?
Ignoring the trivial point that they return different values - think
of [a for a in expr] vs list(a for a in expr) if you like - these
should be semantically the same, I believe?

TBH, the docs aren't super-precise in this area. Before we start
debating the "correct" behaviour of edge cases, I think we need to
agree (and document) the semantics more precisely.
