Isn't it equally easy to write:
def foo(x):
...
items = [foo(x) for x in items]
I don't understand the desire to write this as a loop over a
``items.pop(slice(None))``. You can simply use the same loop body,
replacing the ``for x in items:`` with ``def blah(x):`` and
``items.append(y)`` with ``return y``. Low typing effort.
