In order to get the ball rolling, and because after hours of futzing I
still can't get the diff to work (yeah, fine, I'm incompetent), I've
started sketching out how a PEP for http://bugs.python.org/issue2292,
"Missing *-unpacking generalizations" might look.

It's attached if anyone cares to look. You can insult me over it if
you want, but I'd prefer if you liked it :P. I also don't mind
additions to it if you feel you want to waste some time.

If anyone knows how to get the patch (from the bug report) working, or
where to find
http://code.python.org/python/users/twouters/starunpack after
code.python.org was deleted in favour of hg.python.org (which seems
not to have it), that'd be nice too.

Again, this is a sketch. It's incomplete and I'm likely to replace
large parts of it tomorrow. There's also very little justification and, I
think, there are too many code blocks. So it's all liable to change.
