Not that I know of.  But the iteration is a pretty simple dtml-in
loop, so I guess nobody has had enough motivation to implement
a one line solution.

Does that work?  I wouldn't expect it to.  The :lines coercion
expects the input to be CR separated strings, not the python string
representation of a sequence.  And you really wouldn't want dtml
to just eval the input to allow it to accept the python representation
<grin>.
