If you are using trailing comma in every non-empty tuple,
then there is no problem with consistency.

For example:

mytuples = (
  (1, 2, 3,),
  (),
  (1,),
)

Usually I use it only when tuples are open for additions.
In things like: (x, y, z) or (R, G, B) I do not expect
that 4th dimensions will appear any time soon ;-)
