Which special cases? I am not being a nuisance here; I really don't
think there are any special cases. Maybe you can be specific about
what you think are special cases. (Since we are now discussing this
in private, you can take as much space as you need, if it makes your
point.)

What exactly is the new convention you are proposing? That "a,b=1,2,3"
assign 1 to a and (2,3) to b? I would be vehemently opposed to this,
as well as to its equivalent in argument passing.
