I'd lean to the former myself --- which actually does suggest that this
patch is not ready for application yet, because it banks on the
assumption that "x,y,z" should be treated as a single expression.
Now that I think about it, the amount of overhead in that assumption is
pretty high: there's tuple construction and deconstruction involved,
no matter how simple the individual datatypes are. So I'd definitely
prefer to see it changed.
