Note that recent Python versions support extended argument unpacking, so 
this works:

     a1, *other, a2 = return_some_sequence()

If you use the last value of the returned sequence (such as a tuple) to 
pass a dict, or if you return a tuple with two arguments (posargs, 
kwargdict), you basically get what you wanted above.

Time machine keys are back were they were. Nothing to see here, keep passing.
