Comment 14 for bug 1328169

Still, it is not a change that is in direct or indirect violation of PEP8 (its well within the unspecified realm).
Secondly, I cannot think of a use-case that conflicts with this change.
Third, there are people who use this, specially in partial unpacking that would benefit from it. It is even handled this way within list comprehensions. Why not stay consistent outside of them.

And finally the amount of people does not necessarily reflect the "necessity" of a change. I'd say that is a stance of denial, instead of a stance that is willing to evaluate the possibility to cater to a necessity without conflicting with anyone else. Is there a conflict between this and some other use-case or specification?
