I am a regular Python user, and I advise against using this syntax for
tuples. I have been bitten many times by something which I thought was a
tuple becoming an expression and something I thought was a simple
expression becoming a tuple. It may be less of an issue in a static
language, but it will still be an issue. I don't have an alternative
syntax to propose.
How about
tuple(1,2) two-element tuple
tuple(1) one-element tuple
(1) simple expression
tuple() empty tuple
Oh, wait...
