This is really going to be the last time I waste any words on this: The sentence 'collection unpacking is a type constraint' is entirely nonsensical. A type constraint is a linguistical construct that can be applied in many ways; typically, to narrow down the semantics of use of the symbol to which the type constraint is applied. In case of python, collection PACKING (not unpacking) is signaled by a construct that can be viewed as a type constraint. But if you dont want to fortify your view of the syntax by looking at what it is actually going on, ill repeat again; lets keep things simple, and not analyze it in detail. So here it is again, in terms every 5 year old can understand. Id like to do the exact same thing python is already doing. Except with a few more, and different symbols, to enable one to express a few different variants of behavior. Clear enough? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
