Python doesn't go that far.
I believe that a very early version of Python did do
something like that, but it was found to be a bad idea,
because there was an ambiguity between multiple args and
a single arg that happened to be a tuple.
This was before keyword arguments existed -- they would
have been hard to incorporate into the old scheme.
