It should be reasonably easy to do a code search for something like "=.*islice", to find code that's a candidate for using the proposed syntax. I suspect there's very little code like that.
While isclice is something equivalent, it can be used in places like:
x, y = seq[:2] x, y, z = seq[:3]
But in those places, x, y, *_ = seq works fine at the moment. So if the programmer didn't feel inclined to use x, y, *_ = seq, there's no reason to assume that they would get any benefit from x, y, ... = seq either. Paul
