Construct a list from those elements of \var{list} for which
\var{function} returns true. If \var{list} is a string or a tuple,
the result also has that type; otherwise it is always a list. If
\var{function} is \code{None}, the identity function is assumed,
i.e.\ all elements of \var{list} that are false (zero or empty) are
removed.

Return a list whose items are the same and in the same order as
\var{sequence}'s items. If \var{sequence} is already a list,
a copy is made and returned, similar to \code{\var{sequence}[:]}.
