That works, but I prefer the implicit nesting of a sequence of "comp_for"
expressions to a the nested generator.

I feel you.  I think of "given" as an assignment that is in front of the
expression, just like "for" (in comp_for) is a for loop that is in front,
and "if" (in comp_if) is a condition that is in front.
