Sorry Dan, I am getting a little tired of this discussion of tuples
and arguments. The current use of tuples in Python is quite
consistent (although totally different from superficially similar
mechanisms in other languages), and changing only argument passing is
not really possible without breaking lots of things in subtle ways.
This would just be too major a change to the language to be worth it.
After all *one* of the constraints to language changes is that I must
find the time to implement them...
