Filter without function

If the function parameter is None, then the identity function will be used:

list(filter(None, [1, 0, 2, [], '', 'a']))  # discards 0, [] and ''   
# Out: [1, 2, 'a']

[i for i in [1, 0, 2, [], '', 'a'] if i] # equivalent list comprehension

(i for i in [1, 0, 2, [], '', 'a'] if i) # equivalent generator expression

Found a mistake? Have a question or improvement idea? Let me know.
