Or rather that all PARI users live in the eurozone :).
There is a solution though:
[|a<-b,f(a)] but it is probably too ugly for serious consideration.

So maybe we should settle on [a|a<-b,f(a)].
Eventually the compier could convert [a|a<-b,f(a)] to old-style [a<-b,f(a)]
internally for a small speed improvement. I am not usre it is worth the
trouble.

Cheers,
Bill.
