Tuple Format?

[Delaney, Timothy]

Monday morning ... of course the back-quote is used as shorthand for repr().

This makes parsing the two-character one interesting ... we can actually end
up with the equivalent of a single-element list which is the result of the
repr().

[` a, b, c `] == [ repr(a, b, c) ]

Oops :)
