FWLIW, I use the latter all the time and would greatly miss it. I
can't remember the last time I had a bug from it, though I can
certainly believe that they happen.

I avoid the ``(x,)`` thing like the plague -- too much punctuation for
me -- but if the single comma form goes away, I guess I could still be
happy with ``[x]`` for unpacking.
