[Boost-users] Python list comprehension-like syntax in C++

In Pyhon:

y = [foo(_1) for _1 in x]

In C++:

list<int> x;
x.push_back(...);
..

list<int> y;
for (list<int>::iterator it = x.begin(); x.end() != it; ++ it)
  y.push_back( foo(y) );

With boost, can we write the Python-like statement:

copy( x.begin(), x.end(), magic_back_inserter(foo(_1), y) ); // pseudo-code
