Nobody has even suggested removing tuple-unpacking in general.
The question is whether to continue doing it implicitly in function
parameters.
Today, you can write:
>>> def f(name, (street_num, street, city, state, zip)):
In python 3, you will probably have to write:
>>> def f(name, addr):
... street_num, street, city, state, zip = addr
or possibly the redundant
>>> def f(name, addr:tuple(street_num, street, city, state, zip)):
... street_num, street, city, state, zip = addr
if you want the documentation value.
