Raymond Hettinger added the comment:
It is a bit late in the game for 2.7 micro-optimizations.
FWIW, I don't think these weren't oversights. There isn't really much of a use
case for the bool filter for strings and unicode inputs. And the case of tuple
inputs isn't used much ("lists are for looping/filtering and tuples are like
records in a DB or structs in C").
Since there is no bug here and we're trying to touch 2.7 as little as possible
these days, I recommend closing as "not a bug" or "won't fix".
If optimizing uncommon cases is important for you, then just use "filter(None,
iterable)" instead of "filter(bool, iterable)" or work with itertools.ifilter()
and itertools.ifilterfalse().
