Comment(by roed):

 Yeah, that was a typo: apply only 8162.2.patch.

 I can't think of a good reason to allow a list, but also no particular
 reason not to allow it, since lists are a common container for objects in
 Python.  :-)

 As for the check parameter, my interpretation of check=False is that it
 only accepts input of a particular format in order to minimize the time
 spent in handling different input formats.  So I think it's completely
 reasonable for your example to fail when you don't pass in something of
 the form [(p, k)].

 So I guess my conclusion is that I don't think the issues you're pointing
 out are problems.
