Initial Comment:
>From c.l.py:

Currently, 

    () = x

gives a compile-time error.

This should really be allowed (and require that x is an
empty sequence, of course) as an end case of

    (a,b,c) = x  # x must be a 3-sequence
    (a,b) = x   # x must be a 2-sequence
    (a,) = x    # x must be a 1-sequence
    () = x    # why can't x be z 0-sequence?
