Don't forget that your equivalencies are based on the Py3 map/filter,
which return non-list iterables. There's no really convenient
equivalent to the map() usage of "call this function with each of
these args, and discard the return values", as it looks very odd to do
a list comp for nothing:

[print(x) for x in list_of_strings]

Short of borrowing Pike's automap syntax:

print(list_of_strings[*])

there's really not much that's better than the original map() call. On
the other hand, there aren't actually all that many times when I've
needed to do this, and the simple for loop generally suffices:

for x in list_of_strings: print(x)

So it's not a huge deal.
