Well of course if you're going to invoke Him...

Me too. In general, I love list comprehensions, but to make
my intent clear, I only use them when I am interested in the
resulting list.

Comprehensions produce a list.
foreach is for side effects (nothing produced).
foldl is for producing something other than a list (or as well
as a list...)
