Should we deprecate comma?

One of the points of a good tuple syntax is to not need to define 
the variables before (because in several cases you can't do that).

It's equivalent to Python2.6 code:

def foo((a, b, c)):


A more complete Python2.6 program:

def foo((a, b, c)):
     print a, "-", b, "-", c

t = (10, 20, 30)
foo(t)

Output:

10 - 20 - 30


In Haskell, OcaML, and other languages the code is similar. It's 
a tuple unpacking syntax in the function signature.

The other example with foreach is very similar.
