Sorry Jonathan, this is the way the python containers work if they take an
iterable input. In the case of a str, it is not possible for us to know
whether you mean for deque('abc') to go it as three arguments or as one.
FWIW, if you don't what to put the single element in a list, the API provides
the append() method for adding scalars and extend() method for adding iterables:
d = deque()
d.append('abc')
d.extend('abc')
Note that lists behave the same way.
