Honestly I would like to declare the bare (x=1, y=0) proposal dead. Let's encourage the use of objects rather than tuples (named or otherwise) for most data exchanges. I know of a large codebase that uses dicts instead of objects, and it's a mess. I expect the bare ntuple to encourage the same chaos.
That sounds sensible to me - given ordered keyword arguments, anything that bare syntax could do can be done with a new builtin instead, and be inherently more self-documenting as a result. Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia
