And that there were good alternatives, and that there were technical 
reasons why maintaining the feature in the face of other arguments 
options would be a nuisance.

For future reference, the time to have said something would have been 
during the 3 month alpha phase, which is for testing feature and api 
changes.  I suspect, from reading the pydev discussion, that the answer 
still would have been to either use a def statement and add the unpack 
line or to subscript the tuple arg to stick with lambda expressions. 
But who knows?
