I'd vote for [(a,), (b,), (c,)], that is, still return tuples. It's
consistent with the use in the case of multiple sequences. 

We already have map(None, sequence_a) that does it the non-obvious way ;) In
the map case it's easily explained: it turns the sequence into a list. In
the case of zip(), that isn't necessary (and not the point of the function,
anyway.)

I-still-wish-it-were-marry()-ly y'rs, ;)
