It's a list with a tuple, with a list with an empty dictionary. I'm not sure the innermost parenthesis is legal there.
Edit: Well, I tested it. It's legal.
{()}
is just a set with an empty tuple instead of a dictionary.This sounds like something I would do with all of 40 hours or so of Python-esque programming under my belt. I feel like there has to be a better way, but it worked. I'm worried this might be the best way.
Ouch. If you ever catches yourself writing something like this, stop. Intermediate values deserve names too. Even Haskell developers wouldn't go into such extreme namelessness.
