I wrote a weird bug the other day. I had a function that returned a
4-tuple and wanted to unpack it, so I wrote:
var1,
var2,
var3,
var4 = my_function()
which isn't a syntax error, but also isn't what I meant. Depending on
whether var[123] have pre-existing values, this doesn't even produce a
run-time error. Emacs encouraged me in this crime by merrily
auto-indenting the code the way I expected :-)
