I've gotta say - I've bumped into this problem before, and I'm sure many
other have - this is a valid question. It just hasn't bothered me enough to
ask...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the following is equivalent, and looks
better. Although this won't fix all ugly cases in that problem.

if (width, height, color, emphasis) == (0, 0, 'red', 'strong') or highlight
> 100:
    raise ValueError("sorry, you lose")

Cheers,
