We already have that situation:
some_var = [1, 2] a = some_var[0] b = some_var[1]
is exactly the same as
a, b = some_var
and the visual indicators (the integers, the item access) are nowhere to be seen.
Good point. However, don't you think this case is different? As a human (at least the ones I know) can easily relate position and index number. So, 1 is first, 2 is second and so on. That's pretty straightforward. So, the item access is quite naturally mapped. With keys of a dictionary it is less clear. I prefer the explicit key variant over some implicitly working one. Maybe there will come up a better argument for or against this. We will see. Best, Sven
