> one Stack Overflow question, with a low number of votes

Mind explaining why you say 159 is a "low number of votes" for a StackOverflow 
question on Python?

According to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/python, this puts it in 
the top 3031 / 1908740 = 0.00159 = 0.159% of Python questions by vote count.

What kind of evidence would satisfy you? And how did previous proposals you 
supported obtain such evidence?

We've already had 2 other participants here attesting to frequent use of this 
functionality.

the first place

This has already been explained in this thread. A list is not immutable. A 
tuple is. Both the old and new tuples are not mutated or mutable, and we want 
to keep it that way.

See namedtuple's ._replace method. namedtuples are also immutable. We simply 
want the same functionality for tuple.
