Has anyone actually used it in real code?

Yes. In PyGUI I have some point and rectangle manipulation utilities that do things like

  def add_pt((x1, y1), (x2, y2)):
    return (x1 + y1, x2 + y2)

In cases like this, it can help to make things more concise
and probably also slightly more efficient.

I don't remember ever being seriously burned by using it.
