To be clear, the PEP will probably be useful for one single line of
Python code every 10000. This is a very weak case for such an intrusive
syntax addition. I would support the PEP if it only added the simple
cases of tuple unpacking, left alone function call conventions, and
didn't introduce **-unpacking.

Barring that, I really don't want to review the patch and I'm a rather
decided -1 on the current PEP.
