    I was thinking something more along the lines of
    
    ```python
            if len(args) == 1:
                args = args[0]
    
                # Handle empty args case.
                if len(args) == 0:
                    args = [[], []]
                elif isinstance(args, dict):
                    args = args.items()
                args = list(zip(*args))
            indices, values = args
    ```
    
    You don't have to worry about `len(args) == 0` because of L463 and this 
makes it so `len(args) == 0` is only checked when args can possibly be `[[]]` 
or `[dict()]` (the current check will also check when `args = 
[[0,1,2],[3,4,5]]`)
